The Wonderful Benefits of Elderly Home Care

December 1, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

As they say, you should live your life to the fullest. But what if your father or mother can’t recall even a single moment of their life because of dementia? Worse, they even forget how to do normal daily chores and forget their daily routine, hence, neglecting themselves in the process. Dementia can progress speedily and they can even forget their family members or their own name. Thus, it’s hard for them to take care of themselves or simple things like keep a tidy house. Often, old people stricken with this degenerative disease are moody and require special attention. Unfortunately, because of other factors like work or family, taking care of the elderly can be a daunting task for the children of the person involved. This can be a cause of further problems and misunderstanding especially when none of them has the luxury of time to focus on taking care of their loved one.

It isn’t surprising that many families opt for professional elderly home care. This is considered as a win-win solution that is worth investing in because the children can still go on with their lives without worrying who among the siblings should take care of their parent(s). Furthermore, having an expert look after the parent(s) is comforting not only for the patient(s) but for the whole family as well because they are confident that the person is specially trained how to deal with certain mood swings and even possible inappropriate behaviour caused by depression.

Aside from these, here are the additional benefits that you can get from hiring a professional live-in care provider if you have an elderly family member or parent with dementia:

  1. Personalised care. Since different people have different lifestyles, professional live-in care providers can provide support that is specifically tailored to the needs of your loved one. Aside from taking care of their personal needs, they also act as a confidant as well. It is important that they don’t feel alone.
  2. Control of your life. You don’t have to let that problem get the best of you. You can still go on with your normal routine like going to work and taking care of your own family while the expert carer takes care of the physical and emotional needs of your loved one who needs special attention. You will be able to get a good sleep at night, knowing your parent(s) is being taken care of. 
  3. No need to transfer to a hospital or care centre. Living in the same household can also lessen trauma and anxiety as compared to transferring them to an elderly care centre. Being in the same home is considered therapeutic for the patient with dementia.

There are various fundamental considerations before you can finally get the right live-in care provider. You can find various companies that provide live-in care, but it is important to choose the one you can fully trust. Remember that this isn’t a one-time transaction but this will last for years. By doing this, you can still give your loved one hands-on care to make them feel that they matter.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
