How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

At Visiting Angels^® Gresham, we understand the desire to keep your relative out of a care facility. After all, you cannot replace the comfort, privacy, and dignity of living at home. However, many seniors require help to remain safely at home. As a loving family member, it can be difficult to provide this care while maintaining your own life. With our in home care services in Happy Valley, we are eager to provide your family with a wonderful solution.

We offer customized assistance to address their specific needs and keep them safe at home. Our care may include bathing and grooming support, medication reminders, fall prevention, transportation, mobility aid, light housework, and more. Along with our service, we'd also like to offer 3 helpful tips to improve your loved one's safety and comfort.

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Create a Safer Living Space. Your primary goal should be to reduce fall hazards around the home. The biggest hazards are in the bathroom, so handrails near the toilet and shower can be very useful. The kitchen is another place where falls typically occur, so make sure to arrange essential items within easy reach. In general, maintain good lighting throughout the home, reduce clutter, and keep all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in good operation. 
• Keep Up With Their Medical Needs. By attending a doctor's visit along with your loved one, you can learn the details of their medical needs. This will help you to anticipate problems, organize their medication schedule, and inform us about their situation during our initial care consultation. 
• Utilize Some Type of Emergency Service. In the event of a household accident when they are alone, it is important for them to have some means of contacting help. A wearable emergency device is a great way to boost your peace of mind. They can wear this light item and request help without getting up or being near a phone.
