It’s very common for seniors who are living alone to be fine during the day but to get anxious at night. If your mom gets anxious at night and that makes it hard for her to relax enough to go to sleep, 24-hour home care is a great option. If you can’t stay with your mom at night and you worry about her being alone, 24-hour home care will give you peace of mind.

There are a lot of reasons why seniors get anxious at night. Nighttime is when seniors usually feel the most lonely because it’s a time when family members are typically busy. If your mom has 24-hour home care a home care provider will be there to watch TV with your mom, get her a snack, and reassure her that there’s nothing to be scared of.

Having 24-hour home care for a senior parent living alone makes sense because there are a lot of things that can go wrong for your mom. And when emergencies happen, they often happen at night. 24-hour home care helps protect seniors from:

Crime

Seniors who live alone are sometimes viewed as easy targets for break-ins and property crimes. If your senior parent has someone with them at night, they are less likely to be viewed as an easy target. And your mom may feel more secure at night just knowing that someone in the house will be awake all night and on watch.

Falls

Falls are very likely to happen at night. When your mom is going to bed, or getting out of bed in the middle of the night to use the bathroom there is a risk she could fall. That risk decreases if there is someone in the home who can help her get to bed, help her get up, help her get to the bathroom, and help her get back in bed.

Emergencies

Fires, broken pipes, and other household emergencies can happen anytime. Seniors have a high risk of being injured or dying in an emergency situation like a house fire because reflexes slow as they get older. Having a care provider in the home around the clock ensures that someone is always there to get your mom out of the house and deal with any house emergencies that happen.

Bad Weather

When bad weather hits your senior parent could be in trouble. Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms, and other dramatic weather events can cause loss of power, flooding, and other serious emergencies. Your senior parent needs to have someone with them who can help them get to the safest part of the house and make sure they are ok when the storm is over.

Medical Emergencies

If your senior parent has a heart attack, a stroke, or another medical emergency they may not be able to call for emergency help. 24-hour home care means that someone will always be in the house who can call for emergency help.
