Continue Living at Home Throughout Aging!
As we get older, it’s common to start struggling with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, preparing meals, and even driving. This can cause concerns that we may have to give up not only our freedom but our home as well. But there is encouraging news for older individuals: in-home senior services, like those provided by Sterling Care, can help actually increase independence for aging adults and help them continue living at home throughout aging where they’re most comfortable.
The fact is, these days, most older adults are deciding to receive the care they need at home. To help you better understand exactly what in-home senior services are, we’ve put together the following information.
Some of the Many Benefits of In-Home Companionship and Homemaker Services
- Personalized Attention: Our in-home homemakers and companions provide one-on-one attention that simply isn’t possible in an assisted living facility or nursing home. There is no need to wait your turn for help. This personalized approach ensures that each individual receives the specific support they require when they need it, fostering a sense of security and comfort.
- Healthier Lifestyle: We can help encourage a healthier lifestyle. Our companions and homemakers are skilled in planning and preparing nutritious and delicious meals that are appealing to the individual. They can also help keep track of the amount of food consumed, ensuring that dietary needs are met. This focus on nutrition is crucial for maintaining health and energy levels in older adults.
- Exercise and Safety: A personalized, ongoing exercise plan can be implemented and followed through with the help one of our in-home homemakers and companions, providing the extra safety measure of having someone present during exercising. Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining mobility and overall health, and exercising with a buddy can help prevent injuries and provide encouragement.
- Dignity and Independence: Our services emphasize dignity and independence, necessary factors for a fulfilling lifestyle. We ensure each person receives customized support specific to the needs of the family and individual on any given day, whether the need is around-the-clock support or simply a companion to brighten an afternoon.
- Transportation and Companionship: The additional benefit of accompanied transportation to and from doctors’ appointments, social events, or errand-running means that families have the opportunity for more quality time together. This service alleviates the stress of transportation logistics and provides older adults with a reliable way to maintain their routines and social connections. We learned during the COVID pandemic how hazardous senior isolation can be to both physical and psychological health. Our in-home companions and homemakers provide much-needed socialization opportunities and the chance for older individuals to have someone there to prevent loneliness and depression. The day is so much more enjoyable with a companion who is available for conversations and reminiscing, fun activities, fun hobbies and interests, and much more.
