- Coordination of a healthy meal plan
- Development of a light exercise schedule
- Shopping
- Meal preparation
- Medication reminders

The caregivers that Right at Home employs do not see this as a job, but as a wonderful opportunity to improve or enhance the quality of life for the people they care for. This distinguishes them from other agencies.
