Ask nearly all older people if they want to remain in their homes, even if they are struggling with aging-related issues, and the reply is overwhelmingly a resounding “yes!” Having to move away from home, a place that has so many memories, can be distressing, even if seniors can identify that it’s getting more challenging to manage the tasks of everyday life. But, wishing to continue to be at home and having the option to do so safely, are two separate things. So what can you do? Even if you’re a live-in full-time family caregiver, you cannot really do it all without help. You need assistance, and it could be that in-home care is the solution.
Many families find that planning this kind of care requires the expertise of a professional who fully understands all of the options. And it’s true — appropriate care coordination services from an aging care specialist will help every person involved feel much more organized and at ease.
Who Can Help?
Many elderly individuals warrant help with a number of aspects of their lives, including meal preparation, getting to and from physicians’ appointments, taking medications, and conducting the activities of daily living. Attempting to manage all of these tasks can be a challenging undertaking for a family caregiver.
