Reasons to Seek Home Care Help for an Elderly Loved One, Part 2

Last updated on September 13, 2019 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Sometimes the people we love who are getting along in years could use some assistance from a professional home care service provider. There are a variety of different reasons to consider hiring such a service for your elderly family member. In our first article in this series, we considered how a loss of independence, difficulty with household duties, and inadequate nutritional intake could all be reasons to seek out home help. This article will point out even more signs to look for when considering this important decision.

1. Increasing Occurrence of Accident

Have you started noticing that your loved one has been falling frequently? Have you seen dents on their vehicle, or noticed broken items around their house? These, along with bruises and cuts on their bodies, could be an indication that your loved one needs help. Whether it’s a matter of a loss of coordination, impaired eyesight, or mental deterioration, their safety could be at risk if they spend too much time alone. A home help care provider could come in and assist with moving clutter that’s posing a fall risk for the elderly person, monitor their activity to see how they’re getting hurt and offer to provide them with reliable transportation to outings and appointments.

2. Isolation Leading to Emotional or Mental Problems

As people age, they may not have the energy or inclination to get out to very many social events. A lack of regular socialization can lead to depression, loneliness, boredom, and other negative thoughts and feelings. The longer this isolation persists, the worse these problems can become. A home care helper could supplement regular visits from friends and family members. Seeing a caregiver’s smiling face and spending quality time interacting with them could be just what your elderly loved one needs to boost their spirits. A home care provider could also drive your family member to special events and outings so they can spend more time with the important people in their lives.

3. Mobility Limitations

Some senior citizens need extra help just getting out of bed in the morning, dressing, and taking care of their grooming and bathing needs. Whether it’s due to muscle or joint pain, weakness, or partial paralysis, elderly people with limited mobility are some of those who are most in need of regular home assistance services. A home care provider can help your aging loved one get around more safely and comfortably than they would on their own. They can also assist with medically approved physical activities that can potentially improve your loved one’s balance and bone strength.

4. Surgery or Illness Recovery

When an elderly patient is admitted to the hospital due to illness or for surgery, their ultimate goal is often to make it back home. Having a home care recovery expert on hand to give them much-needed assistance could allow your aging loved one to spend more of their recovery time in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.

If someone you care about is struggling with living on their own for any reason, they may benefit from in-home care. Finding the right care provider could be just what your aging loved one needs to see significant improvement in their quality of life.
