Modern day advances in the medical world have resulted in the population living much longer than we did 15 years ago. Technology has succeeded in prolonging our lives, and as a result raising the demand for elder care.
At what age do we decide that our loved ones require daily living assistance? That is the tough question that burdens children and families as they witness their relatives becoming less independent. Ask yourself if home care will make your aging parents lives easier. Will it prevent them from injuring themselves at home? Will it ensure that that are taking their medication properly? Will it free up some of your own time to possibly tend to your own children? There are so many factors we face when making this decision.
Often times guilt overcomes us and we attempt to take on the task of home care ourselves. As generous as this gesture may seem, it is quite possible we could be causing more damage than good. The average person is not properly trained to handle and care for the disabled or elderly. By attempting to take on this role, you may injure yourself or your loved one. And the added stress of this new responsibility may cause tension in your relationship. If you are considering home care, we recommend a free in-home assessment. This assessment will give you and your family the opportunity to hear the options you have, and how they will help improve the quality of life for you and your entire family.
