What do you know about in-home care? It’s one of the best services for older adults who are starting to slow down due to chronic health conditions or severe arthritis pain. Discover the different benefits your dad will gain when he’s supported by caregivers.
Assistance With Ambulation
Does your dad have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning? Does he stumble and take a bit to get his balance? It’s a fall risk that he doesn’t have to live with. He can have a caregiver there for support as he gets out of bed and walks from one room to the other.
Support With Grooming and Hygiene
When it’s time for a shower, your dad has a caregiver to help him get into and out of the shower or bathtub. His caregiver can set up a shower seat if he needs one and hand him the items he needs.
His caregiver can help him apply moisturizer, dry off, and get dressed. He’ll have help combing his hair, shaving his face, and trimming his nails. If he needs help brushing and flossing his teeth, that’s also an option he can arrange with in-home care.
Preparation of Meals and Snacks
Your dad’s caregiver works with him to plan a weekly menu. His caregiver can help him shop for groceries or place an online order for delivery. He can even have his caregiver pick up groceries for him if he’d prefer.
When your dad is ready for a meal or snack, his caregiver can prepare it for him. He’ll have someone to talk to while he eats. His caregiver can wash dishes, load the dishwasher, and put things away when they’re dry. Counters and the stove top are wiped clean and sanitized, too.
Help With Housework and Laundry
Does your dad find it hard to keep up with the housework and laundry? He may struggle to do some of the tasks that involve heavy lifting like the laundry, changing his sheets, and vacuuming the upstairs bedroom. His caregiver can clean for him.
His caregiver can change the sheets and towels, gather dirty laundry, and put clean laundry away. Other housekeeping tasks that caregivers help with include dusting, taking out the trash and recycling, wiping down sinks, counters, and other food preparation surfaces, and sweeping hardwood or other hard floorings.
Transportation to Appointments and Local Businesses
Is your dad still driving? What does his eye doctor or doctor think? If he has a vision impairment or has a health issue that prevents him from driving, make sure he doesn’t feel trapped at home.
A caregiver can drive him to his friends’ houses, bring him to social events at community centers, or take him shopping. He’ll have a ride to his appointments, too.
Companionship Throughout the Week
Instead of feeling lonely or isolated, your dad has a caregiver stopping by regularly for companionship visits. He has someone to join him on walks, help him in the garden, or set up a movie on a rainy afternoon.
In-home care is a great way to support your dad’s goal of living independently. You may not live nearby, but that doesn’t mean he has to take risks completing his daily routines. Home care aids can help out as much as he needs to ensure he’s safe and secure aging at home.
