Conversation and Companionship-
Whether it is conversation and company, playing cards, reading to each other, or just eating a meal together, having someone to sit by your side and visit with can help make for a happier, healthier life.
Family caregiving relief (respite care)-
Otherwise known as “respite care”, our caregivers can provide a break for family members who are taking care of their loved ones. If you need to run errands, go shopping or get some much needed rest, our caregivers can give you some downtime.
Arrange appointments-
Coordinating medical and other needed appointments can be time consuming, not to mention tricky, for seniors and busy moms with ill children. Our caregiving staff can arrange and track these appointments for you.
Medication reminders-
While our caregivers cannot administer medications (or provide “home health care” as it is traditionally known), they can be an “alarm clock” for you or your loved one to take medications at the right time.
Help with morning wake-up-
If you or your loved one needs help getting up and around in the morning, our caregivers can help with getting out of bed, getting dressed, and get breakfast going.
Bedtime assistance
Just like the morning wake-up, our caregivers can provide specialized turndown assistance. They can get the bed ready, help with getting into bed, tucking in, making sure the room is at the right temperature, making sure there is an ample amount of fluids by the night stand, and can even get that little mint onto the pillow.
The Health Franchise Doctors Express Franchise

CBCs – These tests check for anemia or signs of infection.

Cultures – These test for strep throat and the flu.

At Doctors Express, if your doctor believes that you need laboratory testing, you will not need to be sent out to a private laboratory for the collection and then have to wait for a phone call or second appointment to get your results. We strive to provide you with the best medical care available, including a comprehensive, on-site laboratory.
Medical preparation for travel is increasingly important. Not only are there more serious health risks present around the world, but there is more available for prevention and treatment. Opportunities for prevention should not be overlooked by any traveler, regardless of destination.
Doctors Express offers immunizations for many types of diseases. To expedite your care, Doctors Express has set up an on-line questionnaire for you to complete prior to your visit. Your Doctors Express physician will then customize an immunization program for you based on the information you provide and can help you assemble a travel medical kit that will help protect you against malaria, food and water borne diarrhea illness, and motion sickness.
