If your mom has been sick or is recovering from a fall in-home care services can help her with tasks around the house until she is well. In-home care is a great support for seniors who want to continue living independently but may need some extra help.
While your mom is recovering an in-home care provider can help with things like:
Running Errands
One of the ways that in-home care can help your mom while she’s recovering is by doing the errands so that your mom can focus on recovery. A care provider can go to the bank, the post office, the pharmacy, and run other errands that have to get done.
They can also get your mom new books at the library, pick up craft supplies, or get other things that your mom needs to keep her from getting bored while she is recovering.
Shopping
Grocery shopping can be difficult for seniors even when they’re not recovering from an illness or injury. A care provider can help your mom make a grocery list, then they can take that list to the store and get everything your mom wants. Or, if your mom prefers, a care provider can help her shop online for curbside pickup.
Then the care provider can go pick up the groceries that your mom has ordered so that your mom will have plenty of delicious healthy food and all the household supplies that are needed to keep the household running.
Preparing Meals
While your mom is recovering, she won’t be able to cook the kind of healthy meals that she needs. But a care provider can cook the meals that your mom loves, make plenty of healthy snacks, and make sure that your mom is eating and drinking enough each day.
care provider can also share meals with your mom so that she doesn’t get bored eating alone. Good food always tastes better with good company. An in-home care provider provides company, conversation, and compassion as well as doing household tasks.
Housework
Your mom won’t have to worry about doing any of the housework while she is recovering if she has in-home care. Care providers can do light housecleaning tasks like vacuuming, dusting, mopping, doing the dishes, laundry, and changing linens. You can trust that your mom is recovering in a safe and clean environment if she has in-home care.
Helping Your Mom Get Around
If your mom needs help getting out of bed, getting to the bathroom, getting dressed, or just walking around to improve circulation while she is recovering a care provider can help with that too. Having a care provider will help lower the risk that your mom will fall while she is recovering from her illness or injury because she will have dedicated support whenever she gets up.
Medication Reminders
During her recovery, your mom may be taking more medications than usual or medications that are unfamiliar to her. An in-home care provider can make sure that your mom is taking the medications she should take at the right times.
