Healthy Heart and Live In Senior Care

Healthy Heart and Live In Senior Care

There are a few ways to maintain a healthy heart like eating a balanced diet, not smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and exercising. Regular heart screenings will help to monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels and help you to maintain healthy cardiovascular function.  While it is important to stay physically healthy, it is equally vital to have a happy heart.  Some ways to feel better and have a happy heart are to seek out activities that you enjoy and spend time with those you love.  Staying home near the places and people you love most is also great for keeping stress levels low.  This is also important for loved ones who may be coping with dementia related disease or just need more help around the house.

Live in senior care from Senior Helpers of Chattanooga is designed to assist elderly adults around the clock as needed, twenty-four hours a day.  A professional, reliable caregiver, expertly trained in senior care is available day and night.  All caregivers are thoroughly screened, background checked, interviewed, insured and bonded.  Your loved one’s safety and privacy are top priorities to Senior Helpers of Chattanooga.  Live in senior care can provide great peace of mind to you and your family because your loved one is never alone in their home for long stretches of time.  Sometimes just knowing that there is a companion living with a loved one will make everyone feel more at ease.  Your loved one will not have time to feel lonely and this will reduce their risk of feeling isolated.  Two or three caregivers will rotate in shifts to be sure that your loved one has a companion twenty-four hours a day. A caregiver will stay the night in their own sleeping space and this will give comfort to your loved one that they are not alone.  While they are not usually required to work through the night, just knowing that an extra set of ears are available to prevent falls and wandering will bring great peace of mind to you and your family.
