Time to Consider In-Home Care?

KEY INDICATORS

1. A Decrease in Mobility. If one is having difficulty moving around, or conducting essential daily activities, Elder Manage Care personnel can help your loved one move about the home and outside safely to enjoy life & perform normal day-to-day activities.


2. Diminished Grooming & Hygiene.  A personal care assistance can help your loved one maintain a regular grooming schedule that includes showering, dental hygiene, assistance with incontinence issues,  bowel movements, and diaper changes/ bed pads.


3. Physical Atrophy or Disability. Noticeable weight loss, diminished body mass, and trouble eating on a regular basis can signal it’s time for home care to enable your loved one to enjoy proper nutrition so they can maintain strength & good health.


4. Memory Loss. Forgetting repeatedly to take medication, or turn off appliances may mean your loved one would benefit from in-home care. Keeping the mind active with creative projects of interest may help delay the progression of dementia and it's a wonderful opportunity to collect meaningful keepsakes from someone's life.

 

5. Increased Medical Needs that Warrant In-Home Care. Medication management and or overseeing home physical therapy. Frequent UTI's can be a medical indicator that there's a need for better hygiene, i.e., more frequent diaper changing & bathing.

​

6. Increased Companionship Needs. Loneliness and depression can affect anyone who’s housebound. Caregivers provide companionship that results in a more positive overall mental health.

​

7. Transportation Assistance Needs.  Some are not in a position to drive safely and getting in and out of the vehicle may be challenging.  A professional caregiver can offer safe transportation, as well as accompany your loved ones to doctor's appointments, social events, shopping, and errands.
