Do you really need the services of Elderly Home Care?

After attaining and enjoying your retirement, you may begin to experience challenges managing the free lifestyle that you had envisioned. You need extra support, but just enough to maintain the lifestyle you desire and have worked for. One option is to attain in-home assistance with services customized to your changing needs and requirements. The time has come to explore   Elderly Home Care.

Nursing homes or assisted living facilities are a common route, but that option involves leaving your home and getting used to unfamiliar people and routines. An even greater difficulty is the feeling of separation from family and friends. Elderly Home Care circumvents these difficulties as it enables you to age in place.

Private Elderly Home Care is the chosen living option for the senior citizens experiencing the following

1. Elders whose house structure makes it difficult to move around. Perhaps there are stairs leading to other house floors that you can no longer access without help.
2. Elders who have issues with their motor skills and thus need aid for performing everyday chores or errands. For example, they may have balance and coordination issues.
3. Elders who are facing difficulty with transportation.

Their Driver’s license may have been revoked due to age or impairment. Travelling to doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, or maintaining a social life becomes difficult.

4. Elders who are alone yearning for companionship.
5. Elders who need assistance with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living).

ADLS include grooming/personal hygiene, dressing, toileting/continence, transferring/ambulating, and eating.

6. Elders who need light “housekeeping services” such as cleaning and laundry.
7. Elders who are facing short term or long-term memory loss.
8. Elders who may need in-home therapy.

Rehabilitation therapies are available and can be provided by a care team within your home. Therapies include Physical therapy, Speech-Language Therapy, Occupational therapy and respiratory therapy.

9. Elders are being provided with Palliative care or Hospice care at home.

Apart from the medical care received as part of End of Life care, other tasks such as laundry, bill paying, and household maintenance still need to be performed.

A Caregiver is essential for elders opting for   Private Elderly Home Care. The caregiver is the core person to provide ADLs, coordinate with external agencies, and is the communication point for the family.
