An in-home care provider can offer the best of both worlds: allowing someone to age in the home they love while also receiving the care and safety they need from a professional caregiver.
Some people may only need simple assistance such as personal grooming, light housekeeping, and meal prep. In contrast, others may require more intensive care due to a medical condition or memory impairment. Whatever the need, Cambridge Caregiver has the solution.
Here are five reasons why your senior loved one can benefit from aging at home with a senior in-home caregiver in place.
1. Comfort and familiarity
No matter where you stay, even the most luxurious place on earth will lack the warmth you get at home. We spend most of our lives at home, often in the same home for decades, so their home is a place of comfort for many seniors. Many seniors live in the same home where they raised their families. Allowing them to age in the home that provided them with many happy memories over the years will help support both their physical and emotional needs.
2. Undivided care and connection
Senior citizens deserve undivided care and a warm feeling of connection. Our professional caregivers can provide just that. In addition to providing top-level care for your loved ones, they become a kind and compassionate companion for them. These professional caregivers manage all their needs, ranging from grooming, toileting, medical support services, and transportation to medical appointments.
3. Feeling independent and confident
Humans are creatures of habit. This is undoubtedly true of seniors. They have likely become very accustomed to their surroundings within their homes, with specific routines and comforts. They feel most comfortable navigating their own home. They are familiar with their floor plan and furnishings, minimizing the risk of injuring themself or becoming confused. Aging at home will undoubtedly give them a level of self-sufficiency that they would not get in a new or different environment.
4. Freedom
As much as children and teenagers often crave freedom, seniors yearn for this even more. Many seniors, especially those with medical conditions, feel like a burden on their families. Allowing them to stay in their own home gives them their freedom while feeling safe. Unlike medical or assisted living facilities, they can eat when they want, what they wish to, or control their outings.
5. A happy and loving environment
Who wouldn’t want to spend the final years of their lives with those they live nearby? Spending time with family and friends will help them feel loved, safe, and comfortable, and it will also reduce factors such as loneliness and depression.
