“For aging seniors, life at home can get complicated fast. With housework, meal prep, transportation needs, and more, it’s tough to stay in the home you love without support,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Luckily, skilled nursing services can help.
Here’s how to improve senior independence with a professional in-home care solution.
Expert Medical Care in the Home – Seniors who have complicated health issues or need help administering insulin or related medications can benefit from a visiting nurse. With part-time hours available, families can create a care schedule that meets the specific needs of their loved ones. In-home skilled caregivers are formally trained on a wide range of chronic or progressive illnesses, diabetes, and injections.
Day-to-Day Help – In-home nursing services don’t exclusively involve medical care. In many cases, nurses attend to the daily needs of their patients, assisting with bathing, dressing, and even light housework. For loved ones who are mostly independent but could benefit from a visit a few times a week, skilled nursing services are a great option. If an aging parent has difficulty cooking meals or needs help getting to and from the doctor, in-home care may be just the right solution.
Skilled Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care – If a loved one is living with the early stages of a debilitating disease like Alzheimer’s or dementia, having a skilled nurse is an invaluable asset. Families often don’t understand what to expect with these conditions and look to a trained professional to help navigate uncertainties. A kind, compassionate caregiver is often exactly what the family needs to stay upbeat and focused.
