Someone by their side
For when they need hands-on daily support
Some situations need more than equipment. When your parent needs help with bathing, eating, medication, and daily movement, Someone by their side provides a trained caregiver alongside the full home setup. Your parent gets a safe home and a trusted person in it.
What's included
Grab bars in bathrooms
Stainless steel grab bars professionally mounted beside the toilet, shower, and bathtub. Your caregiver will use these as transfer points when helping your parent bathe and use the toilet safely.
Anti-slip mats in bathrooms
Medical-grade anti-slip mats custom-fitted to your bathroom. Critical when a caregiver is assisting with bathing — wet floors are dangerous for both your parent and their caregiver.
Shower chair
A sturdy, height-adjustable shower chair your caregiver uses during assisted bathing. Reduces strain on the caregiver and gives your parent a stable, dignified bathing experience.
Cameras in common areas
Safety cameras in living areas and hallways with phone alerts. Gives you visibility into your parent's daily routine and peace of mind when the caregiver is in another room. Bedrooms and bathrooms are never monitored.
Low / accessible bed setup
Your parent's existing bed adjusted to a safe transfer height with bedrails and non-slip mats. Used as a secondary rest area in addition to the hospital bed.
Hospital bed
Fully adjustable electric hospital bed with head/foot elevation, side rails, and pressure-relief mattress. The caregiver uses the bed controls to assist with feeding, medication, and repositioning throughout the day.
Wheelchair
Lightweight, foldable wheelchair for indoor mobility and outings. Your caregiver handles transfers between bed, wheelchair, and bathroom. We measure your home to ensure it fits through all doorways.
Dedicated caregiver
A trained, vetted caregiver matched to your parent's needs and language preferences. They assist with daily activities — bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, light physiotherapy exercises, and companionship. Available as day-shift or live-in depending on your family's needs.
A prepared home and a prepared person
Most home care services in Malaysia and Singapore send a caregiver into a home that isn't set up for care. The caregiver arrives to find no hospital bed, no grab bars, and a bathroom that's dangerous for both them and your parent.
We prepare the home first, then place the caregiver. The bed is in the right position. The bathroom has grab bars where the caregiver needs them for transfers. The wheelchair fits through the doorways. The caregiver can focus on caring for your parent instead of working around an unsafe environment.
Who this is for
Families choose Someone by their side when their parent needs daily hands-on help. Common situations:
- •Your parent had a severe stroke and needs help with bathing, dressing, eating, and movement
- •They have dementia or cognitive decline and cannot be left unsupervised
- •The family works full-time and cannot provide daily care themselves
- •Your parent is recovering from major surgery and needs weeks or months of hands-on support
- •You want an alternative to a nursing home — keeping your parent at home with proper support
Frequently asked questions
How do you select and vet caregivers?
All caregivers go through background checks, reference verification, and skills assessment. We match based on your parent's condition (stroke, dementia, post-surgery), language preferences (English, Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese), and personality. If the match isn't right, we'll replace the caregiver at no extra cost.
Is the caregiver live-in or day-shift?
Both options are available. Day-shift caregivers work 8-12 hour shifts. Live-in caregivers stay at your parent's home and are available around the clock. We'll recommend the right arrangement based on your parent's condition and your family's needs during the assessment.
What if my parent doesn't get along with the caregiver?
We replace the caregiver at no extra charge. Compatibility matters — your parent is spending every day with this person. We encourage a trial period and check in regularly during the first two weeks to make sure the match is working.
How is this different from Homage or Pillar Care?
Homage and Pillar Care provide caregivers. We provide the caregiver plus the entire home setup — hospital bed, wheelchair, grab bars, anti-slip mats, cameras, and accessible modifications. Other services send a person into an unprepared home. We prepare the home and provide the person.
Can I start with Help Them Move and add a caregiver later?
Yes. Many families start with equipment only and add a caregiver when they realise the daily care demands are more than the family can manage. We credit the work already done, so you only pay the difference for the caregiver placement.
What training do caregivers receive for stroke patients?
Caregivers assigned to stroke patients have specific training in transfer techniques, repositioning to prevent pressure sores, swallowing safety during meals, and basic physiotherapy exercises prescribed by the patient's doctor. They are not nurses, but they are trained for the daily realities of stroke recovery at home.
