“Family members who make the difficult decision to provide care for an aging or sick loved one at home often find themselves struggling to meet needs and expectations,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Luckily, at-home health care services can help with medical expertise, companionship, and peace of mind in an uncertain time.
Here are three ways professional in-home care can ease stress.
Trained Medical Expertise When You Need It – Aging seniors often need a variety of medications and sometimes daily injections to stay healthy and strong. The right in-home health service can send trained medical experts to the home part-time or full-time, ensuring the ailing family member gets the best medical care available, even at home.
A Non-Medical Helping Hand – Sometimes, caring for a loved one at home requires being available to provide transportation to and from doctor’s appointments or social events. In-home care can offer much-needed support for busy families with these non-medical activities. For seniors living independently, help with housework, shopping, and even cooking a meal is critical.
Peace of Mind and Confidence – Many studies show seniors who age at home live happier, more fulfilled lives than those who spend time in a nursing facility. Safety is a primary concern, and families struggle with balancing attending to a loved one and caring for their own families. Home health care services can help, with someone visiting the home weekly or more frequently to ensure your loved one is living safely.
