Seniors aging in place has become very normal now. Overwhelmingly seniors say that they want to stay at home for as long as possible. And it’s easy to see why. Moving is tough at any age, but moving is incredibly difficult for seniors who have lived in the same home for decades and love where they live. But it’s often assumed that seniors would at some point have to leave their homes because they would not be able to live safely alone. That’s just not the case. Seniors can stay in their homes as they get older. 24-hour home care makes it possible for seniors to have the extra support they need to live safely at home so that they don’t need to move out when they get older.
24-hour home care provides peace of mind for seniors and their families. You can be sure that your senior loved one is being looked after by a trained caregiver around the clock. And seniors can be sure that they will have company and the help they need around the clock. 24-hour home care includes things like:
Making Meals
Seniors often struggle with malnourishment because they may not have a great appetite or don’t want to cook food for themselves. With 24-hour care seniors will have someone with them who can make them the food they want to eat at any hour of the day or night. So if your senior parent hasn’t been hungry because they are going through medical treatment or they forget to eat a caregiver can make them a sandwich at night or fix them a healthy breakfast before the sun rises. Your senior loved one will get better nutrition and be healthier with around the clock access to good meals.
House Cleaning
Seniors often struggle to keep up with the house as they get older. But that’s something that a caregiver can help. Caregivers that are there around the clock can clean up the living room, vacuum, do the dishes, dust, and make sure that the bathroom is clean. Your senior loved one will have a healthy and hygienic home that will help them stay well.
Medication Management
If your senior loved one has trouble sleeping and they want to take something to help them sleep but they don’t know what they can take that won’t interact with their medications a caregiver can find them the perfect medications that is safe to take. A 24 hour care provider can also make sure that your senior parent is taking all of their medications when they are supposed to take them.
Help With Mobility
As seniors get older and have more medical problems they may find it difficult to get around the house. That can increase the chances that they are going to fall. But having a caregiver in the house all the time means that your senior loved one will always have someone there who can help them get around the house, get in and out of bed, and can help them use the bathroom when necessary.
