We will evaluate the care needs of your senior loved ones and form a care plan that covers the personal care they need as well as assistance around the house.
Senior citizens have plenty of options when they reach the point where they need daily care. Receiving care at a nursing home or assisted living facility is always an option, but more seniors are choosing in-home care services so they can remain at home as they age. Home care not only allows seniors to stay in the familiar environment of their homes, but also helps them maintain some independence and more control over their lives than at a care facility.
In many cases, seniors need care and assistance to continue to live safely at home. It becomes more difficult to drive, take care of the house, and handle self-care as seniors experience cognitive and physical limitations. Many seniors may have family members step in to provide care, but not all families can handle providing the care their elderly loved ones need on their own. If you have elderly relatives that need help to age in place, you should reach out to a home care agency like Assisting Hands Home Care.
