Senior veterans have some unique challenges that can make aging at home a little difficult. But senior veterans who want to remain independent and stay in the homes that they worked hard for can often get by very well at home with a little help from home care. Home care for veterans who need support because of a disability or because of age can make sure that seniors are happy and healthy at home as they get older. Even seniors with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to do some things around the house can remain independent with help from home care. Some of the services that home care can provide for senior veterans are:
Cooking
Often seniors who have a disability find it difficult to cook healthy meals. When seniors don’t want the hassle of cooking they may rely on fast food or delivery food. Or they may just not eat. Seniors who live alone are prone to skipping meals because they don’t want to put in the effort to cook a whole meal for just one person and then get stuck eating leftovers for several days. Seniors who have home care will have someone in the home with them who can share their meals so that seniors aren’t eating alone. And a home care provider can help seniors cook real meals with healthy ingredients so that seniors are getting enough food and getting the right food.
Shopping And Running Errands
Veterans who are disabled also may have a hard time getting out of the house to shop and run errands, especially if they can’t drive any longer. But with home care seniors can either choose to go with a care provider to the store, to the post office, and on other errands or they can have a care provider run the errands and do the shopping for them. That way seniors don’t have to worry about keeping food in the house or making sure bills get mailed. And they have someone to go with them to appointments or to do things like get a haircut.
Laundry
Laundry can be tough for seniors that are aging in place become often in older homes the laundry is in the basement. That means seniors may have to drag laundry down three floors to get it to the laundry area, then drag it back up three floors when it’s done. That’s tiring just to think about. But a home care provider can handle the heavy lifting and sorting of the laundry so that seniors don’t have the stress or physical discomfort of trying to get the laundry done.
Housekeeping
General housekeeping is important when it comes to making sure that seniors are healthy at home. Dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and other household chores keep the house clean and sanitary and help improve the quality of the indoor air. Home care helps seniors by taking care or most household chores so that seniors will have a clean and comfortable home.
