What is Long-Term Care and How Can It Help Seniors in Wayne, NJ and Nearby Areas?

The phrase "long-term care" refers to a variety of services that can help elderly individuals with their personal care and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) as they age. Although many seniors usually only need occasional assistance with everyday tasks, there may be some situations where an elderly family member or friend may need more comprehensive assistance and support. Depending on the requirements and desires of the client, this kind of care is often delivered either at the individual's own home or in a facility that specializes in long-term care. Many seniors in Passaic and Bergen Counties choose in-home care because it enables them to get the necessary assistance in a familiar setting and promotes their continued independence and ability to follow their own routine.

Long-term care can benefit seniors in various scenarios, including:

Seniors with Chronic Illnesses

In order to manage symptoms of chronic illnesses and stay healthy, seniors who are living with a chronic health issue may need continuous assistance. When a loved one has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, long-term care may provide assistance with finishing chores that have become too challenging because of their symptoms, and it can also encourage them to establish routines that help them control their symptoms and have more symptom-free "good days."

Seniors with Memory and Cognitive Impairment

Many seniors need specialized care and assistance to age in place if they suffer from dementia or another disorder that affects memory and cognition. Seniors who receive professional long-term care services can benefit from the individualized attention of an expert caregiver who can ease the increasing difficulty of everyday activities, keep them from wandering—a common symptom of dementia—and offer emotional support to loved ones dealing with behavioral and emotional changes.

Seniors with Advanced Age-Related Issues

Because of advanced age-related issues such as reduced mobility, diminished energy, or other health concerns, elderly adults may find it challenging to live independently at home in their golden years. Support and assistance from long-term care providers can help seniors manage these difficulties, allowing them to keep their independence and quality of life.
