In-Home Elder Care
A home care agency can provide individualized assistance that helps your elderly parents with different tasks. The goal is to help them age in place together and avoid moving into a senior living community. Typically, home care aides can support seniors with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing or using the bathroom, as well as with chores around the house.
Although one parent may already provide this type of care to the other, it could become unsafe as needs increase. The more independent parent is also at risk for isolation and caregiver stress. In-home care can enable the caregiving parent to get out of the house and keep social connections.
If one parent has specific medical needs, home health care providers can provide more advanced services. This type of in-home care is given by medical professionals instead of home care aides. For instance, a home health care provider could help a parent who’s recovering from surgery with services such as physical therapy, medication administration, or wound dressing.
