Benefits of Home Care for Seniors

From keeping your loved one company to ensuring someone is available to help take them to the doctor when you can't be there, there are numerous benefits of in-home care for seniors that make Senior Helpers an ideal choice. More than 65 million Americans seek to balance the daily demands of work, home, children, and caring for someone who may be living with an illness, disability, or simply aging.

In-home care is a safe, affordable option for families that provides the support they need while allowing their loved ones to stay in the comfort of their own homes and communities.

Comfort of Home

Nine out of ten Americans 65 and older want to stay at home for as long as possible, and 80% believe their current home is where they will always live. Working with a home care agency like Senior Helpers allows your loved one to receive the care they need while in the comfort of their own home — preserving their dignity and maintaining a good quality of life.

Independence

Professional caregivers enable your senior loved one to enjoy living independently longer. The services offered allow seniors to receive day-to-day help with personal care and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, and medication reminders. Ultimately, this benefits you by keeping your loved one safe, healthy, engaged, and active.

Personalized Care

Home care services provide meaningful, one-on-one care that helps build strong relationships between Senior Helpers caregivers and their clients. We match our caregivers' experience, skill set, and personality to your loved one's needs. Our service schedules are extremely flexible to ensure your senior receives the care they need when they need it. The result is a consistent, beneficial working relationship where our clients often consider their caregiver part of their family.

Peace of Mind

If you are caregiving from a distance, working with an in-home care agency can help you feel confident that your loved one is cared for when you can't be there. Trained and qualified caregivers can assess safety risks and make simple corrections in the home to ensure your loved one can get around easily without the potential for injury. We are committed to providing your loved ones with increased care as their needs change to ensure their quality of life and your peace of mind.

Reduce Feelings of Isolation

Research shows that aging adults stay healthier with social interaction. Feelings of isolation are a major problem among aging Americans. A caregiver's companionship can impact not only physical well-being but emotional health as well. Our caregivers can become trusted friends for walks, reading, cards, games, movies, meals, and other social activities.

Prevent Falls and Other Common Injuries

Falls are the number one cause of emergency room visits for people age 65 and over. They can easily happen when a senior attempts a simple household task, such as reaching for a high shelf or carrying something down the stairs. Hiring a caregiver to assist a loved one with these everyday tasks can help prevent accidents that could potentially lead to serious injury.

Senior Care, Only Better

Senior Helpers enjoys an excellent reputation for service within our community and professional circles. We work with many local doctors, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals who regularly refer their patients in need of help. We are experts in the home care field and value building strong relationships with our clients and their families.

Senior Helpers hires caregivers based on their experience, professionalism, enthusiasm, and compassion for seniors. After a full and thorough screening, we train, bond, and insure each one.

For many families, home care can be just the support they need to help manage caregiving responsibilities while avoiding caregiver burnout. We look forward to providing your loved one with the help they require to continue living independently at home. Contact us today to schedule a free in-home assessment.
