If your loved one can no longer manage basic daily tasks, you may worry about their safety and comfort at home. This is especially true if you have reason to believe they cannot move easily, are not eating well, or starting to withdraw from others. Many families turn to assisted living communities, which allow seniors to maintain a level of independence while receiving ongoing support with everyday tasks.
Within these communities, your loved one may receive regular meals, participate in communal activities, access laundry and housekeeping services, and receive personal care, including bathing and dressing support.
However, as beneficial as these services can be for your loved one, you may still have concerns about their overall quality of life. This is especially true if you, like so many adult children, live in a different city or state from your elderly parents and cannot visit as often as you’d like.
Visiting Angels Newton/Canton home care agency can help.
Professional Caregivers Enhance Assisted Living Care
As the demand for quality senior care soars, assisted living facilities are often functioning at capacity, catering to the needs of many residents at once. While your loved one may have access to many amenities, it’s natural to wonder if their needs are fully met.
By hiring a one-on-one caregiver from Visiting Angels Newton/Canton who is professionally certified as an HHA or CNA to assist your loved one, you can supplement the care they receive through assisted living, improve their quality of life, and enjoy greater peace of mind yourself.
The benefits of hiring an in-home caregiver from a home care agency for your loved one in assisted living include:
- One-on-one attention for more personalized care
A professional caregiver can ensure your loved one has their care professional’s full and undivided attention, with no other distractions or obligations. Your loved ones can have their needs addressed in the moment and on their schedule.
- Chance to build a true bond
Since your loved one will see the same home care provider during each visit, they’ll have the opportunity to develop a relationship based on trust, respect, and genuine friendship.
- Direct line of contact for greater peace of mind
In addition to whatever details you receive from your loved one and their community, you’ll have day-by-day insight from their caregiver. This will provide a clearer sense of how they are doing and a greater sense of connection and involvement in their care.
