“An aging loved one often presents challenges for concerned family members, creating uncertainty and guilt over tough decisions.” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. As an alternative to choosing a retirement home or nursing facility, many adult children have decided to give at-home nursing a look.
Here are three smart reasons why in-home skilled nursing may be the right solution.
A Helping Hand Boosts Senior Confidence – Having a skilled nurse visit the home a few days a week is a smart way to allow an aging loved one to continue to stay independent. A friendly nurse can help with light housework and cooking, ensuring a loved one stays safe during these activities. With the tools to live independently, aging seniors thrive, and lead happier, healthier lives.
Family Caregivers Can Take a Well-Deserved Break – If the current plan for care involves family members handling the majority of time with a loved one, an at-home nurse is an invaluable resource. Even if it’s only for a few hours per week, making time for family to care for themselves and attend to their responsibilities is important for maintaining healthy relationships. When family members are able to take a break, tension fades, and everyone has the chance to recharge.
A Reputable, Professional Service is a Welcome Addition – The key to success with in-home care is to find a competent, trusted, and respected agency. While proven medical training and expertise is critical, it’s just as important to look for in-home caregivers with a passion for care. Kind, compassionate and friendly nurses ensure your loved one looks forward to visits and is open to the opportunity for help. Look for agencies with a reputation in the community for excellence, and don’t be afraid to call to schedule an in-person meeting.
