Non Medical Home Care
One of the saddest parts of growing older at home is the potential for isolation. Research has shown us that loneliness is not only bad for the spirit but also for our health. Having an active and social life is of great importance to overall well-being. Spending necessary quality time with our aging loved ones has become more of a dream than a reality. Our busy lifestyles and work demands keeps us from doing the things that matter the most, spending quality time with those we love.
As we age our ability to do the things we once took for granted begins to decline. We may notice that when we visit our loved ones that their house is not maintained the manner it once was. We may notice that medications may be forgotten and assistance may be needed with ADL’s (Activities Of Daily Living). These activities may include showering/ bathing, dressing, assistance with transfers, etc. A visit from a caregiver can make all the difference in the world for those living alone or requiring assistance.
