Elderly individuals who have a difficult time grocery shopping, cooking or even getting out of bed can now look to God's Creativity Sitting Services at 72 Carver Ave. for assistance.
Owner Tonya Hudson said there are many things she will do for the elderly in order to meet their needs.
"I will do in-home care," Hudson said. "I will go in to a patient's home. I'll help with baths, meals, picking up their mail. I will do anything I can do to help while I am there."
The services Hudson will offer include bath assistance, feeding and oral care, light housekeeping, light meal preparation, laundry and linen washing, grocery shopping, relief for family, medication reminders, errand services and much more.
Hudson will have some help from her mother, Pinkey Frye, with the housework for the patients. Hudson is a certified nursing assistant and will take care of all the medical tasks.
"I'm going to be doing the cleaning and the food," Frye said. "I will help Tonya with the housework and cooking and she will do the nursing part."
Not only will Hudson take care of the patient physically but she also will provide conversation and companionship for them.
"We would like to help patients that may be going through a difficult time in their lives," A God's Creativity Sitting Services flyer prepared by Hudson states. "God's Creativity would like to make these times a little bit easier with the help of our services. We will work very hard at leaving a good impression on our patient's face and their families."
Hudson will provide services for not only the elderly, but the sick and disabled also, according to a God's Creativity Sitting Services pamphlet. Hudson would like to help these individuals with their daily life activities. The services provided are a mission from God, according to the pamphlet.
"God's Creativity services are on this mission from God to do His works," the pamphlet states. "With respect, dignity, kindness and understanding, this mission on what seems to be a battlefield can be won and all things will be possible."
Hudson said that anyone who needs assistance can call her and she will go from there.
"They will call me and I'll come out for an interview," Hudson said.
God's Creativity Sitting Services will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on the occasional weekend.
