How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

When an elderly parent faces the possibility of moving to a care facility, it often falls on family members to provide care and keep them at home. With our in home care services in North Olmsted, Visiting Angels^® Berea provides a much more sustainable option. Instead of wearing yourself out by providing constant care, you can secure wonderful support from a dedicated professional. We provide customized assistance around their home to improve safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

Securing our direct support is a great way to reduce stress and set up a more sustainable home life for your loved one. In addition to delegating some or all of their care to our loving professionals, there are a few ways you can help to improve their living situation and keep them safe in their own home. Here are our tips.

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Maintain a Safer Environment. You can do this by reducing potential fall hazards. The biggest hazards exist in the bathroom, as the slippery conditions can create a very unsafe environment for seniors with limited balance and mobility. Use non-slip mats and handrails to boost safety in this critical area. Additional measures include: reducing clutter, organizing their kitchen, adding better lighting, and making sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. 
• Understand Their Limitations. Schedule an appointment to visit their doctor and learn about their medical needs. This will make it easier to protect them from dangerous activities, and will also allow you to stay current with any medication schedules and other medical guidance. 
• Prepare for Emergencies. While you can take effective precautions to reduce the risk of falls, accidents can still occur. In the event of a household fall when you're not around, a wearable emergency device will allow your loved one to quickly summon help.
