If your senior parent wants to stay in their home as they get older but you’re concerned about their ability to take care of themselves you’re not alone. That’s a very common worry that adult children of seniors have. Especially if you live far away from your senior parent and can’t get there to check on them as often as you’d like. If you’re worried about your senior parent’s ability to be safe at home consider getting them veterans care at home services.
There are some big advantages that seniors get from staying in their own homes as they get older. Seniors who age in place are happy because they are in a familiar environment with lots of family memories. They often have strong ties to the neighborhood and valuable connections with neighbors. And being part of a community is good for their mental health.
Veterans care at home provides a range of services designed to help seniors be happy and healthy at home as they get old. Some of the ways that veterans care at home services help seniors age in place are:
Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Seniors who struggle with basic activities of daily living independently, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and meal preparation can get the help they need at home with home care. veterans care at home providers offer personalized assistance with daily household tasks, cooking, running errands, and many other things that must get done so that seniors can live well at home.
Medication Reminders
It can be difficult for seniors to juggle their medications and take each one at the correct time in the correct way. With home care, seniors have someone at home with them to remind them when it’s time to take their medications. They can also set up reminders to remind seniors to take their medication when they are alone.
Mobility Support
When seniors have trouble with mobility, whether due to aging, injury, or disability, that impacts their safety at home. Seniors who have trouble getting around safely have a much higher risk of falling at home. But, with veterans care at home seniors have the extra support they need to get around the house safely and to use adaptive devices like canes or walkers safely.
Companionship and Emotional Support
Loneliness and social isolation are common challenges among seniors, particularly those living alone or with limited social connections. Home care providers offer companionship and emotional support, engaging seniors in meaningful conversations, activities, and outings to promote mental stimulation, social engagement, and overall well-being.
Safety and Fall Prevention
Falls are the leading cause of injury and hospitalization among seniors. Home care providers can make sure there are no obstacles like rugs or clutter piles that could cause seniors to fall. And they can help seniors move around the house, get to the bathroom, get out of bed, and even get outside for walks safely.
Transportation and Errands
Seniors who are aging in place need reliable transportation. Seniors who no longer drive can get help from a home care provider arranging transportation for things like shopping, medical appointments, getting to the gym, or going on fun outings.
