A priority for adult children with elderly parents is that they are safe and comfortable. However, keeping them that way can be a challenge when they live at home and have declining health. Using a managed care agency that offers hourly home health care can keep your parents living in their own home, with as much independence as possible, for as long as possible.
Individualized Assessment
Every senior has different needs and requires differing levels of care. Although you know your loved one needs help, having a registered nurse and a social worker assess how much and what kind, and put together a practical plan, is a great relief.
The Right Amount of Help at the Right Time
A senior that wants to remain in the comfort of their own home may have certain times of day that are more challenging. It could be that mornings are tough, and help getting ready for the day is what they need most. For others, it may be more important that someone comes in the evening to fix a nutritious meal and provide some company at the end of the day.
Flexibility
Your senior may just need just a few hours a week of aid for medication reminders, help with bathing or getting to the grocery store and doctors appointments. He or she may not need much care, but what they do need is really important. Having someone to call on anytime gives a great deal of peace of mind to them and to you.
However, the need for care can drastically change over time, or very suddenly. A managed care agency, such as Garden State Eldercare, has staff that will not only recognize when the situation with your loved one has changed, but can effectively and quickly deal with it.
Additionally, they have the resources to help you make difficult decisions and can work with you to relocate your senior if, and when, it's needed.
