An Aide Will Ensure the Safety of Your Loved Ones
Worrying about your parent falling and getting hurt, or anxiety over your elderly family member being trapped in the event of an emergency are no longer concerns when you hire a home care aide. Our commitment is to ensure your loved one is safe and secure in their own home. Male and Spanish speaking aides available.
Loneliness Is a Thing of the Past
Companionship and friendship are important to all of us, especially as we get older. Having an aide visit the home regularly means the aide can talk and interact with your elderly loved one, and prevent them from being too lonely, which can actually be detrimental to overall mental health.
We are offering a New Service Contemporary Companions for Seniors.
A Healthy Home Environment
Housework can be physically demanding for many elderly people, and neglecting the housework can lead to an unhealthy and even unsafe environment, with too much debris or mess. These basic housekeeping chores can easily be carried out by home care aides, and the home environment can remain safe and clean.
Transportation For Your Senior
Simple grocery shopping or an important doctor’s appointment can be a challenge for many older people who are confined to their home. An aide providing home care can take your elderly relative to appointments and to the store, and ensure a safe experience.
Of course, your aging relative will probably want to get out of the house to socialize, meet friends or perhaps eat a meal out, and transportation can enable a full and satisfying social life. Being able to leave home without the stress of driving or having to navigate public transportation can make a positive difference to many older people.
Maintaining a Healthy Diet
Skipping healthy meals can be a serious issue for many seniors, who simply don’t have the energy to cook and eat properly. A home care aide can help to cook and prepare healthy and nutritious meals, ensuring a balanced and satisfying diet.
An aide also makes it their responsibility to be aware of any dietary requirements or restrictions that have been recommended by your senior’s doctor.
Reminding An Elderly Person To Take Medication
This is one of the most important responsibilities for most home care aides. Your elderly relative may have medication that needs to be taken regularly, and even if it is for something minor, skipping the medication can lead to serious problems.
Worrying about your older parent skipping their medication, or refusing to take it, will be a thing of the past when an aide visits regularly.
Daily Living Personal Activities
An aide can assist with basic yet essential daily living responsibilities, which can help to improve the quality of life and overall health.
Whether managing cognitive decline issues of Alzheimer/dementia or the physical challenges of Parkinson disease, experienced caregivers provide assistance and respite care.
Home care aides are trained to help seniors with daily grooming, including bathing, shaving, and brushing teeth. Ensuring these tasks are carried out regularly and thoroughly can ensure good health.
Many seniors find it difficult to dress themselves as they get older. Having an aide visit your elderly relative regularly will ensure that they dress appropriately, especially if they are going out, and can help prevent them from sitting around in their pajamas all day.
Maintaining Independent Living
You may know a senior who has been independent for much of their life, and to suddenly lose that sense of independence and not be able to do things themselves is understandably frustrating. You may even find that your offer to assist your elderly loved one is not appreciated, or is met with hostility. An older person may resent having to count on other family members for the help that they obviously need.
An aide is trained to offer your elderly loved one the help and support they need, without that help being resented or refused. However, it is about much more than just practical help – home care aides also offer much-needed companionship and it isn’t uncommon for an aide and an elderly patient to quickly become the best of friends.
Non-Medical Care In the Home For Seniors
Worrying about the health and safety of your elderly loved one is the last thing you want to do, although many of us inevitably worry if an older person has opted to age in place. Hiring a professional and caring home care aide is the obvious solution for a senior who needs that extra help and support, but doesn’t require in-home medical care.
Remaining in the home is important for many elderly people, and if you are facing this decision for yourself or a loved one, you want the best possible home care.
If you are looking for the most experienced and compassionate home care aides to provide the best possible care in Palm Beach County or Broward County, please contact Paradise Home Health Care today. You want the best for your elderly relative or loved one, and our goal is to match them with a certified and screened home care aide, so that you don’t have to worry about their safety, health or state of mind.
