Living with chronic health conditions can be a difficult situation for both the person and their families. However, a caregiver can offer support to seniors who live at home. Despite the fact that most seniors want to age at home, they may be reluctant to live with their family or in an assisted living facility.
You should also consider that live-in care, or full-time home care can be a better option. Professionals provide the 24 hour long stay care seniors need, and you don't have to go anywhere either.
Why 24-Hour In-home Care may be right for you
Poor eyesight, mobility issues, and poor health are some of the difficulties that older adults may face when trying to live everyday life. Simple tasks can become difficult to accomplish and cause frustration. Our professional caregivers can handle with ease the daily tasks that come with caring for a senior and provide safety, company, and support around the clock.
10 benefits of hiring a 24-hour in-home caregiver:
Maintain your Independence
You might think a 24-hour home care specialist would take away the independence of seniors, but actually, they often actually allow them to feel more stable. They help elderly people maintain their independence and control over their own life in between long care sessions with trained professionals.
Increase Safety
Visiting Angels has professionally trained home caregivers who are proficient in identifying tripping and accident risks as well as other potential house hazards for seniors. They can work with you to monitor and protect your loved ones!
More Affordable than other alternatives
Getting care for you or your loved ones can be expensive, especially if they live in a nursing home. Having someone live-in and care for them all day, every day is an affordable way of getting the elderly the help they need.
24/7 live-in care for the elderly or disabled is very cost-effective and it's good to know you can provide a reliable home that can offer this. This might just be the best way of taking care of your loved ones in their neediest time.
Friends, Family & Community Support
When your loved one is in their own home, they can spend time with their family and friends on their own terms and timetable. This gives people a lot more flexibility to visit, which helps make sure that those who are living on their own maintain a high quality of life.
Keep Your Lifestyle
Assisted living is a great option for seniors who need help but also want to be in their own home. A 24/7 caregiver makes sure they're never alone and handles any needs. This means they'll have consistency even though they've moved to a new place.
Companionship You Can Trust
Along with physical care assistance, a 24-hour professional caregiver provides emotional support and one-to-one companion care. 24 hour home care aides also provide seniors with acquaintance they can depend on & prevent feelings of loneliness.
Rest & Respite for the Primary Caregiver
Many family caregivers can become overwhelmed when supporting an elderly loved one and may need a break. Caregivers are in a tough position where they might need some time to run errands or take care of their own needs. A 24-hour caregiver can provide relief by pitching in with household chores while the primary caregiver catches up on their own needs. Family members can enjoy peace of mind knowing they are in the capable hands of a responsible caregiver.
Increased Mobility & Transportation
Working professionals who need assistance with day-to-day tasks like transportation to and from doctor appointments can benefit from getting a caregiver to help them with this. Families might not always be able to help, but a professional home care aide can make sure your loved one has transportation during daylight hours. We'll also be there to get them home at night.
Help With Your Household Chores
Tasks around the house can become too difficult for the elderly to complete. A caregiver can take care of these tasks and keep the house clean and orderly.
Personalized care
Elder care has always been a difficult topic because it’s so important. One-on-one support can give you everything you want for a loved one, and provide them with the care they need to live quality they deserve. This includes meals, activities, and more.
