As the natural aging process sets in, both men and women sometimes have difficulty completing routine daily tasks. Things that once came naturally like bathing or making meals is not something they can easily accomplish. This may be due to a personal injury like a fall they have recently experienced or an overall downturn in their physical or mental health. While they can not live on their own without assistance, proud individuals are not ready to move to a senior living facility just yet. With professional surrogacy assistance that meets their needs, seniors are able to remain in their own homes for several years if possible.
The process begins with a consultation from one’s primary physician. This doctor might also want the patient to speak with a geriatric physician or another of their team of doctors, like a cardiologist or pulmonary specialist. Family members should always be involved, because they will need to work to make sure the situation resolves itself well. If it has been found that a person might injury themselves living alone, then surrogacy assistance should be arranged.
Having a home companion live with a senior is one way to let them adjust to living on their own with daily assistance. For some individuals, this means that their home companion will live in their house or apartment right alongside them. Other people who still have a lot of their skills, may only require an aide that visits them for several hours a day. The scenario works best when schedules are drawn up to meet one’s needs, personal and medical requirements.
A home companion has been trained to work with a senior citizen or disabled individual to assist them with daily living tasks. This can be to work with them to make dressing and undressing easier, or assist them with taking a shower. Because falls in the bathroom are a major cause of injury, having a trained person standing by is something most physicians recommend to their elderly patients.
At Home Senior Care, the team understands how sensitive this subject truly is. They want to make sure their clients are able to enjoy a quality of life in their golden years while maintaining every ounce of their dignity and strength.
