When a senior citizen chooses to age in place, they may be able to handle it at first, but they will eventually reach a point where they need assistance. The changes that people go through as they age can make living at home alone unsafe, which is why families should consider hiring an in-home caregiver.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides senior care services for elderly individuals in Mount Prospect, IL who have chosen to age in their homes. Our caregivers will treat your senior loved ones with respect and provide quality care that will help them live safely and comfortably.
Falls become more common among those above the age of 65 because people lose balance and coordination as they age. Senior citizens also experience a decrease in bone density which can make falls especially dangerous. According to the National Council on Aging, most fatal and non-fatal injuries among the elderly are caused by falls.
Perhaps the most important thing we can provide for your senior loved ones is companionship. Many seniors experience loneliness because their children are grown, and their friends may have passed on our live far away. At Assisting Hands, we pride ourselves on being an excellent social companion to your loved ones as well as a caregiver.
