A lot has been said about independent living facilities and assisted care. Those places offer many benefits for the older person who still wants to live a full life but is unable to stay in their home. But what if you could stay in your home? What if you had plenty of support and a comfortable home you had no desire or intention to leave, but you needed just a little bit of help?
The answer in this instance would be to find quality in-home care. This type of care is available from reliable caregivers and it is surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to relocating to an assisted living facility.
There are many types of care available. If you are normally the full time caregiver, there are respite workers who are able to come and fill in for you when you are on vacation or if you need a few days away. There are also personal care attendants who can be available to come every day for a scheduled period of time.
These attendants are able to give one on one compassionate care to your loved one while they also assist with their medical needs. In-home caregivers often perform light-duty housekeeping tasks, prepare meals, run errands and help care for pets.
In addition they can ensure that medication is being taken properly while they also assist with any grooming or hygiene needs. If necessary they can take the clients to doctor appointments, hair appointments or help with any other daily chore or responsibility as needed. In-home caregivers can be scheduled to come at any time of the day or night, for as long as necessary depending on personal need.
