Who Requires Home Care?

Most people above 65 years of age are totally independent, healthy and happy. But the aging process comes with changes in the physical and mental well being that inhibit a self-sufficient and active life.

There is no need to move your aged parent to assisted living if they wish to age in place. But you need extra help to address their increasing needs. Outside assistance will be advantageous to both you and your senior. There are some changes that will tell you it’s time to get help for an aging member of your family.

If an elderly person starts to show negative changes in their personal cleanliness and appearance, it means that their mental and physical status is changing. Sometimes, even the least of behavioral changes is a pure indication that an aged individual can no longer accomplish typical tasks without help.

Have you noted piled up mail of your 70-year-old dad that are not yet opened? Or is your grandma no longer doing her hair and wears wrinkled clothes? These are the definitive red flags that the functional abilities of an individual are declining. There are many more signs you senior person needs personalized care.

Many times, we understand what’s going awry upon arrival at an elderly person’s home. Day-to-day chores become challenging due to many reasons. But when the household chores are no longer done such that the house looks unsanitary and full of clutter, then it’s time to get outside help. Your old person needs to live in a healthy and safe place so you can have peace while you are at work.

The other signs that your senior needs assistance include weight loss, forgetfulness, unexplained injuries on their body, and insufficient food in the house. These signs indicate that an individual is slowly losing their memory and physical mobility.

The most common telltale sign is a deviation in personal hygiene and grooming habits. Even though a senior person may not shower as many times as they used to before, strong odors from their body and dirty clothes mean that they are struggling with grooming habits and they need help ASAP.

 

Share Your Workload With Us

Caregiving can be physically exhausting. Helping an elder with housekeeping, shopping, medical appointments, managing drugs, and transportation is emotionally draining. Accept that these responsibilities are tough and that they are affecting your life. It is especially hard when you have kids to take care of, daily job to do, and gym to attend. We at ActiveCare can spot signs of caregiving burnout and understand your need for extra help.

When the level of care your aging grandma needs becomes too much to handle, hiring us is the best decision you can make for your family. Caregiving can cause anxiety and stress and you don’t need to go through this alone.

 

Don’t Wait For A Crisis

If you have noted the named signs of declining functional abilities in your loved one or yourself, this is the right time to hire home care services. Do not wait too long because the problems might reach hazardous levels. You will need to talk to the aging individual in a manner that doesn’t cause awkwardness.

Start by discussing what you have observed and ask the aging to give opinions about what’s happening. They may acknowledge the issues and you should ask them to give suggestions for viable remedies. If they deny the problems, try to give concrete evidence so they can recognize the issues.

An elderly person can do anything just to keep their independence. Rather than discussing the need for extra assistance, focus on the benefits of home care for the entire family and not just the aged. Talk about the shared merits of having a caregiver at home.  Once you come to an agreement, call Folsom Home Care through this number (916) 993-6298.
