Just because someone is having more problems at home does not mean it’s time to consider a move elsewhere. Such a circumstance could, however, signal the need for more help at home. The first step in determining if care is warranted is to take an individual’s needs and desires into account.

 

 In-home care might be ideal for an older adult who is recovering from an illness or a surgery, such as a knee replacement, and does not need medical assistance, but rather help around the home. The need can be just as much for emotional and mental support, as physical assistance. An older adult who loses a spouse can become depressed and lonely to the point her own health suffers. A widower’s increasing forgetfulness can put him at risk of forgetting to pay the bills or, worse, to take his medications.

​

Many older adults need help to get their day started with assistance showering, preparing breakfast and taking their medications. Likewise, help before bedtime, or even overnight, can be an important safety net for individuals at home who often are more apprehensive at nighttime, or who have Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. A reputable in-home caregiving company will provide caregivers who can meet all of those needs. Below we'll discuss a brief summary of Private Duty Professionals can offer you and your loved ones.
