The senior home care services industry has expanded in order to offer services that will enrich a senior’s life with personalized in-home care services that include personal care, companion, and home maker services. These services can be categorized as:
- Personal Care Services Personal senior home care services depend solely on the individual need of the senior. The services may include bathing. Your older adult may also need assistance with daily activities which consider his or her physical limitations. Not just that, in-home service providers also work with family members and health care professionals to provide meal planning and preparation for those who have special diets.
- Companion Services To be able to have someone to talk to can go a long way towards enhancing the quality of life for many older adults. Home health care services which focus on providing companionship for a certain number of hours each day, or several days in the week may be all that a person requires. These may include running errands, grocery shopping, conversation, respite care for family members, and medication reminders. Your loved one will enjoy having freedom, control and the satisfaction of being in familiar surroundings that does not exist in a nursing home.
- Homemaking Services Receiving senior home care services in the form of homemaking services delays the need for a person receiving care in a nursing home facility while allowing people who have been in the hospital to return to their homes. These services can be limited, depending on personal income and other resources. Basic household assistance may include light housekeeping and light meal preparation.
