If you live in another state and can’t be there to help your mom as often as you want to be elder care is a great option. Elder care can help your mom with a variety of things so that she can continue living in the home she loves. If you are worried about your mom’s ability to take care of herself as she gets older and aren’t sure what to do to help her here’s what you should know about elder care:
Elder Care Helps All Seniors
It doesn’t matter if your mom is perfectly healthy and is just dealing with normal aging issues or if she has mobility challenges and health challenges. Elder care can help. The caregivers who provide elder care are trained to work with seniors who have all kinds of medical conditions or none at all. They provide general help and companionship so that seniors stay healthy and comfortable at home.
Care Can Change Over Time
If your mom wants to continue living in her home for as long as possible but her needs change over the years that’s ok. The level of care that she receives can change too. At first, your mom might need just a little light housekeeping help and some help with meals. But if she needs more help as time goes by there are other types of care available to help with things like showering and personal care, home health care, or even dementia-related care.
Emergency Care is Available
If your mom has a fall or suffers from a medical crisis like a heart attack or a stroke care is available for her when she comes home from the hospital. She can recover safely at home where she wants to be with the support of care providers who have experience and training working with seniors who are in recovery. Her safety, health, and comfort are always the top priorities.
Elder Care Helps With Medical Appointments
Another concern that lots of family members have is what will happen to Mom when she can’t drive any longer. Elder care can help with transportation and accompany your mom to medical appointments. She won’t be stuck trying to figure out a ride share or waiting for a taxi and she won’t have to go to medical appointments alone. A care provider can also take her to the hair salon, the nail salon, shopping, and anywhere else that she needs to go.
Elder Care Means Better Nutrition
If you can’t be here to see your mom often you may not even realize if she’s not eating as much as she should or getting the nutrition that she needs. Typically, losing weight is the first sign that a senior loved one isn’t eating the way they should. But if your mom has elder care you can be confident that your mom is eating healthy and delicious meals every day. A care provider can cook meals for your mom and share meals with her to make mealtimes fun.
