If your senior parent wants to live independently, in-home care providers can help them live safely and comfortably in their own home. More seniors than ever want to continue living in their own homes as they get older. But, because of the effects of aging and illness, your mom or dad is likely going to need some help.
If you work full-time, take care of children, or live too far away to help your parent daily in-home care is the perfect solution. An in-home care provider can visit your senior parent on a set schedule to help them with various household tasks.
You will have the peace of mind of knowing that your senior parent has all the support they need. Your senior parent will have help around the house, regular visits, and the peace of mind of knowing they can continue living independently.
Some of the ways that in-home care makes it easier for seniors to live alone safely are:
Medication Reminders
An in-home care provider can help your senior parent remember when it’s time to take their medications. Having someone in the home to remind them when to take medications and how to take each particular one can lower the risk of your mom or dad missing a dose or taking too much of their medication.
Meals
Home care is a great way to make sure that your mom or dad is eating healthy meals each day. An in-home care provider can prepare nutritious meals that your mom or dad will love. They can make classic comfort foods, encourage your mom or dad to try new cuisines or help your mom or dad get used to a special diet if their doctor wants them to try a special diet.
Household Chores
Household chores become a struggle for seniors as they get older. There are a lot of repetitive movements involved in tasks like mopping, sweeping, and dusting that can be difficult for seniors. And chores like changing bed linens and doing the laundry or taking out the trash may be too much for your mom or dad. An in-home care provider can make sure household chores are done so your mom or dad has a safe, clean, and sanitary place to live.
Transportation and Errands
If your parent needs to attend medical appointments, social activities, or run errands, but they can’t drive themselves anymore a home care provider can take them where they need to go. An in-home care provider can also do errands for your mom or dad if getting out of the house is difficult or uncomfortable for them.
Companionship
Nothing can take the place of visits from family, but in-home care visits can provide important social interaction for seniors. If you can’t get to see your mom or dad often because of work or because you live far away from home your senior parent might get lonely at home. Getting regular visits from a care provider means that your mom or dad will get the social engagement they need to stay healthy.
