Recent national surveys have concluded that over 97% of people over the age of 50 said that they would prefer to always remain at home receiving homecare services, rather than move into an institutional setting.
However, self-care is not always possible and we must then turn to outside sources for assistance. The first line of assistance is generally local family members. Family caregivers often help senior parents with various home tasks, if and when they are around.
When self-care at home becomes too difficult or family members are not immediately available to do the volume of work that is necessary, many people choose Home Based services over Institutional Care. Doing so often relieves family members of basic caregiving functions and makes it possible to spend quality time, rather than the functional caregiving time.
Aside from being easier and faster to implement than moving to an Institutional Care setting, homecare allows the patient/senior to stay at home in familiar and comfortable surroundings. The time that adult children do have can be spent on quality time… visiting, having fun with the parent, instead of just being a caregiver.
It’s at home where their quality of life is enhanced without the stress of interrupted routines and changes in daily habits. Companionship is as important as health care when it enables seniors to remain independent and in their homes.
If you or someone you take care of needs routine or periodic at-home care for any health related issues, Alarys Home Health can be of great help to you and your loved ones. Home based services, by far, can be a more feasible way of providing care to you or your family member.
