Understanding Live-In Care With Visiting Angels of Chelsea
Home is where the heart is! It’s not hard to see why most seniors prefer to remain at home rather than move into residential care facilities–the familiarity and comfort of one’s own home are truly irreplaceable. However, if your senior loved one’s physical or mental health has started to decline, you may be worried that they will no longer be able to live in their home safely. At Visiting of Chelsea, we offer live-in care services for seniors who need regular in-home assistance.
With an Angel in your loved one’s home, you can rest assured that your loved one will receive personalized attention, constant companionship, and professional non-medical care. In this article, we’ll look at what live-in care is, how it can help your loved one, and why you should choose Visiting Angels of Chelsea to provide it to your loved one.
What is Live-In Care?
Live-in care is a type of care that involves a professional caregiver staying in a senior loved one’s home long-term to help them with daily life. Our caregivers can help your loved one with nearly any aspect of their daily routine, including grooming, toileting, bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and remembering to take medications.
In addition, our Angels can also provide your loved one with safe and reliable transportation so that they can run errands, attend important appointments, and go to social gatherings. Our live-in caregivers are also able to keep a close eye on your loved one’s physical and mental well-being so that you and your family are always up-to-date about their condition.
The Benefits of Live-In Care
There are several reasons why families choose live-in care for their senior loved ones as opposed to a nursing home or assisted living facility. The following are three important factors that you should consider when thinking about live-in care.
Personalized One-on-One Care: Live-in care offers a level of personalization, familiarity, and continuity that is almost impossible to find elsewhere. The caregiver or team of caregivers who see your loved one every day will have a deep understanding of your loved one’s needs and preferences and will work to ensure that they are met.
Addressing Potential Accidents: Many people choose live-in care after their senior loved ones have suffered a fall or other type of accident in the home. At Visiting Angels of Chelsea, our caregivers can help your loved one get around the house safely, and address any potential hazards in the home.
Continual Companionship: Isolation and loneliness can take a toll on seniors. When your loved one has a live-in companion from Visiting Angels, they will have a constant source of social interaction and companionship. Our caregivers will listen to your loved one’s feelings, join them in meaningful discussions, and help them get the social stimulation they need to be healthy.
