When you opt for in-home care, your loved one can remain in their current home while still receiving the care they need. In other words, things don’t have to change drastically–a devoted organization like Care Partners can improve your loved one’s living conditions in the comfort of their own home!

Personalize Your Loved One’s Care Regimen

In-home care is a multi-faceted system of care that can be personalized to fit each of our individual clients’ needs. Some of our clients need light care, like medication reminders and housekeeping. Others require more intensive care including Alzheimer’s engagement or disease-specific support. Medical aftercare or other, more specialized services, require a delicate balance of day-to-day care such as cleaning and meal preparation, pain management, and companionship. In-home caretakers are skilled in creating a peaceful, comfortable environment for clients during this time. Personalizing your loved one’s care regimen ensures that they are getting the care they need.

Take Care of Medical Needs Without the Risk of Exposure

COVID-19 aside there are often risks that come with seeking medical treatment in a hospital or assisted living facility. Those who are battling other illnesses are at an increased risk of infection. These confined and highly populated spaces may not be safe. In-home care allows your loved one to receive the help they need in the safety and comfort of their own home. Caretakers can bring them to and from necessary doctors’ appointments without requiring a prolonged stay.

Allow Your Loved One a Life of Privacy

For elderly individuals who are used to living alone, or with a partner or child, living in an assisted living facility can feel stifling. The number of guests they may receive can be limited as well as the times when they are permitted to receive them. Many spaces, such as television rooms and kitchen areas, must be shared among residents. In-home care allows your loved one to maintain their privacy and the discretion to determine when they want to receive visitors. Receiving care is much more palatable when it doesn’t require the total loss of privacy and independence.

See Improvement in Mental Health

While many seniors prefer to spend their final years at home, those who live alone are at risk of social isolation and loneliness. When these feelings are prolonged, they can develop into mental health troubles such as depression and anxiety. Coupled with pre-existing conditions and the awareness of their own limited time, serious cognitive and mental health issues may set in. In-home caregivers arrive on a regular schedule throughout the week, providing a sense of stability and companionship. Our caregivers love what they do and develop personal, meaningful relationships with each of their clients. These face-to-face interactions do wonders for seniors who may spend much of their time alone.
