Elders Retain Independence, Safety with Home Care

Elders Retain Independence, Safety with Home Care

Is your mother at home taking care of your father?  Or vice-versa?  Is she anchored to the home for fear of leaving your father alone? Is she living alone as a widowed spouse, and beginning to need some help around the house?  Home care staff will provide companionship, socialization, and functional assistance for your elderly parents.

Professional in-home care staff will ensure personal safety.  Carrying laundry up and down steep cellar stairs is extremely difficult for an elderly parent with balance or mobility issues.  And simply answering the phone can be a safety precaution to deter outside scam artists.

We find many of our clients will not eat properly without our help.  Or, they will simply skip a meal if it is not cooked for them.   Preparing diet-friendly, nutritious meals enables seniors to have a balanced and healthy diet.

Does your mother or father avoid bathing for fear of falling?  My mother did.  She was afraid of the “chill”, and very afraid of slipping and falling in the tub/shower.  Only with staff standing by was she comfortable getting in/out of the shower chair.

Personalized in-home care services provide a responsible professional to monitor daily routines, behavior, and changes in elders.  Many elderly parents will mask the truth when talking over the phone.  And as much as you insist that they bathe, or eat properly, the thought has been forgotten by the time they hang-up.

Private-duty home care staff enables a set of eyes and ears to witness first hand how your parents are really functioning in day-day life while alone at home.
