How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

When seniors experience declining physical and mental abilities, moving to a care facility becomes a real possibility. However, such a move can cause added stress while depriving them of their privacy and independence. At Visiting Angels^® Livingston - Oakland, we believe that every senior deserves the chance to live in their own home. With our in home care services in the Howell area, we provide the support and companionship many seniors need to make that possible. 

Our service includes customized care duties, matched to their specific needs. We also provide helpful advice for family members about ways you can support your parent. With that in mind, let's take a look at three key ways you can supplement our in home care and provide a better living environment for your loved one.

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Improve Home Safety. Start by visiting their home and finding ways to reduce clutter. To minimize fall risks, consider adding handrails near the toilet and shower, as well as along the stairs. Make sure they have functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well. It is also important for them to have good lighting in every room, and for kitchen essentials to be organized within easy reach. 
• Keep Up With Their Medical Needs. By visiting their doctor and learning about their medical needs, you can more effectively prevent household accidents, stay on top of any medication schedules, and do a better job of anticipating their needs. You will also have an easier time relaying this information to us during our initial care consultation, which will result in more effective care for your loved one. 
• Purchase a Wearable Emergency Device. This is a simple way to increase your peace of mind and protect your loved one in the event of a household accident. If they suffer a fall when they are home alone, this device will allow them to summon help without moving.
