All can be very beneficial for their own reasons, however, if you ask someone where they prefer to be, most will say they prefer to be at home.<\/p>\n<p>The phrase, \u201chome is where the heart is\u201d rings true for many people. Home is where they have built a lifetime of memories, including their fondest memories, and this is where they want to be for as long as they are able.\u00a0 The term \u201caging in place\u201d is being used more frequently to describe how the elderly generation wants to live out their golden years.\u00a0 Therefore, in-home senior care is one of the fastest-growing segments of the eldercare market and there are a variety of offerings to help your loved ones stay safe in their home.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>IN-HOME CARE SERVICES INCLUDE:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>In-Home Personal Care &amp; Grooming<\/li>\n<li>Bathing<\/li>\n<li>Oral Care<\/li>\n<li>In-Home Meal Preparation<\/li>\n<li>Feeding, Grocery Shopping &amp; Errands for Seniors<\/li>\n<li>Light Housekeeping for Seniors<\/li>\n<li>Medication Reminders<\/li>\n<li>Walking and Transferring Assistance<\/li>\n<li>Toileting &amp; Incontinence<\/li>\n<li>In-Home Companionship for Seniors<\/li>\n<li>Home Safety &amp; Fall Prevention<\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer\u2019s Care<\/li>\n<li>Transitional Care<\/li>\n<li>Orthopedic Care<\/li>\n<li>Dementia Care<\/li>\n<li>Parkinson\u2019s Care<\/li>\n<li>Veteran Care<\/li>\n<li>Hospice Support<\/li>\n<li>Stroke Care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>BENEFITS TO BEING AT HOME WITH AN IN-HOME CARE TAKER<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>There are so many benefits to being at home.\u00a0 For starters, it\u2019s a familiar place.\u00a0 For those with Dementia, moving into a new place can be very scary and stressful.\u00a0 It can cause confusion, frustration, and even depression, which can cause a decline in the overall well-being of your loved one.\u00a0 By keeping them in their own home, they will be familiar with navigating their own space, which will also promote fall prevention.<\/p>\n<p>Home is the most comfortable place for most people.\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s where your elderly has all their personal items including photos, books, trinkets, and other sentimental items.\u00a0 Furthermore, they have their own bed, bath, kitchen, telephone, sofa, and television. If you\u2019re considering moving your loved one out of the home, they may not be able to bring all their personal items.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>IN-HOME CARE VS. A FACILITY<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>While a facility strives to make it feel like home, they may have to share their space with another person.\u00a0 This may be undesirable for someone who lives alone.\u00a0 They may feel like they are losing their personal space and possibly their identity and dignity.\u00a0 Simply put, \u201cthere\u2019s no place like home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A person\u2019s home is also where friends and family can gather.\u00a0 They can visit at any hour without any restrictions.\u00a0 When living in a facility, the family may be faced with navigating visiting hour timeframes.\u00a0 Also, if your elderly has a roommate, it may be an interruption or distraction to valuable time spent with friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Allowing a caregiver into the home will create a one-on-one relationship with your elder just like family. It will provide consistency, companionship, and someone to be your eyes and ears on what\u2019s going on with your loved one.\u00a0 You\u2019ll know if they are taking their medications, getting enough exercise, eating a balanced diet, being bathed &amp; groomed, and making it to doctor\u2019s appointments. It will help give you peace of mind that your loved one is being taken care of and is safe.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, in-home senior care soothes the soul.\u00a0 An in-home care setting allows your loved one to hang onto the things that matter to them most.\u00a0 It allows them to age gracefully, with dignity and safely in their home.\u00a0 Growing old has its challenges but it doesn\u2019t have to strip your loved one of their independence and identity.<\/p>\n<h6><em>ABOUT OUR SERVICES<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Assisting Hands\u00ae Rockford can provide assistance in the privacy of their own home for you or a loved one.
