Home Care La Costa CA
One of the biggest myths regarding home care is that this type of care is only for the extremely old. The perception is that care providers are only for adults who at a very advanced age and that if they are only in their 60s or 70s your elderly parents do not need and should not have an in home care provider.
The reality is that there is no age limit for home care and even seniors who are at the “young” end of the aging spectrum can benefit distinctly from having this type of care in their homes. The most important consideration when it comes to deciding if additional care and assistance are right for your senior loved ones is not age, but need. Many older adults who have made the decision to age in place by enjoying their aging transition in the comfort and independence of their own homes live productive, active, and happy lives but choose to enhance their lifestyle with the services of a care provider.
There are many ways that home care providers can offer care and assistance for aging adults of all ages, including:
- Companionship. As adults get older they tend to have less social interaction. Home care providers offer companionship that encourages conversation, personal expression, and mental stimulation that keeps their emotional health stable.
- Transportation. Even seniors in their 60s are hanging up the keys and not driving anymore due to physical challenges and low vision. This can limit their independence by making it more difficult for them to handle their regular errands and tasks, and can further diminish their social engagement. A care provider is a reliable, safe resource for transportation that allows your seniors to get out of the home and enrich their lives through running their own errands, volunteering, participating in more activities, and staying more active.
- Grooming assistance. Challenges such as arthritis and balance issues can make it more challenging for seniors to handle their daily grooming on their own. While they may not need someone to bathe them or dress them, having a care provider in the home to help them with tasks such as styling their hair or keeping their nails neat offers a boost in self-esteem and keeps their bodies healthier.
- Housekeeping. Even active, healthy adults may find it more difficult to keep up with regular housekeeping tasks on a daily basis. A care provider can manage tidying, light laundry, dishes, and other tasks to help your seniors live comfortably without taking up all of their time and energy to handle it.
