Introducing at Home Care
Introducing at Home Care to a Loved One
Care at home can be a challenging topic to approach, whether it is for yourself or your loved ones. While we may be young at heart, aging happens to everyone. Fortunately, there are many solutions available to help maintain independence as we age. One such solution is at home care. Getting an extra hand at home can help prolong independence and promote a healthy, active lifestyle.
You may be surprised to find out that at home care is not limited to those who may be ill or frail. Staff Relief offers a variety of customizable services that can help make the transition to at home care as smooth and catered to your needs as possible. It may be the right time to begin thinking about at home care if you notice yourself or a loved one may need some help at home. Home care ranges from services that can lighten the workload at home to nursing care for those with more complex needs.
Staff Relief offers:
Light housekeeping such as laundry, help with dishes, cleaning and vacuuming.
Assistance with meal preparation and planning.
Personal care such as grooming, bathing and dressing.
Companionship. Including engaging in conversation, accompaniment for errands, shopping and excursions, and engaging in recreational activities such as games and conversation.
Nursing care such as medication management and reminders, wound care, and injury recovery.
To introduce home care to a loved one, it may be helpful to bring up the idea early on and occasionally return to the subject. While you and your loved ones may be self-sufficient and hardworking, at home care can enhance your independence and help take a few tasks away from you in order to allow you or a loved one to better enjoy life. We encourage you to involve the individuals who needs care in the process of finding a qualified caregiver for them. At Staff Relief, we understand that, at first, there may be some hesitation to introduce at home care. We encourage you to connect with our healthcare team, who may be able to help you and your loved ones put some concerns at ease.
