Your parents have always been there for you. They brought you into the world. They helped you grow, discover, and become the person you are today. As they age, you want to ensure that they can live happily and healthily. Your parents want to remain independent. Here are five ways home care services in Philadelphia can help both of you with your goals. 

Home Care Services Put Seniors in Charge

At an assisted care facility, your parents’ schedules and activities are largely determined by the facility’s schedule. While this benefits those who cannot live independently and need a structured schedule, for seniors who can and want to live independently, this can be frustrating and demoralizing. Home care services allow your parents to be in charge of their care and their own schedules and activities.

Home Care Services Help Seniors Dictate How and When They Receive Help

At Angels on Call, we tailor our services to meet the specific needs of the seniors we work with. This means that your parents can get the assistance they need in their home without feeling like someone is “taking over.” This tailored care means that your parents can live confident, independent lives knowing they will get the help they need when they need it. 

At Home Care Helps Seniors Stay Connected to Family and Community

Because home care services are where your parents live, they are better able to stay involved with friends, their community, and most importantly, their family. This helps ensure that your loved ones don’t become isolated and lonely. It also offers them more opportunities to stay active and healthy and receive the companionship they want and need from friends and family. 

Home Care Services Prioritize Seniors’ Individual Well Being

Because our home care services are personalized to your parent’s specific and individual needs, their care is prioritized by our Angels and you. For example, if one of your parents needs extra exercise or has special dietary restrictions, an at-home caregiver can ensure that these are met without your other parent’s needs falling to the wayside or being overlooked.

At Home Care Ensures that Seniors Have a Safe Home

As we age, home safety becomes even more important. You want to ensure that your loved one is safe at home, especially if they have limited mobility or begin to experience cognitive decline or the onset of Alzheimer’s or dementia. An at-home caregiver is there to meet your parents’ changing needs. When they begin to care, they will help make your parents’ home safe with mobility and safety aids like handrails. They can also adjust care as your parent’s situation changes to ensure they continue to live safe and happy at home.
