How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

The comfort of home cannot be replaced. Seniors who remain in their own homes get to enjoy peace, dignity, and privacy as they age. To keep your parent out of a care facility and in their own residence, you need to make sure they have enough support. With our in home care services in Sioux City, Visiting Angels^® Siouxland can provide kind, loving, and flexible assistance from a dedicated professional.

We are proud to offer in-home assistance that includes customized care duties. Our goal is to create a safe home environment where they get all the help they need. As part of this mission, we'd also like to provide some tips on how you can supplement our direct support and create a safer and more comfortable living situation for your parent. 

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Maintain a Safer Living Space. You can do this by reducing fall hazards throughout their residence. Starting with the bathroom, make sure to purchase non-slip mats and have handrails installed near the shower and toilet. Another way to minimize fall risks is to make sure kitchen essentials are organized around waist level. Also, be sure to remove clutter and install proper lighting in every room.
  
  
• Keep Up With Their Medical Needs. Schedule a visit to go with your parent to their doctor and learn directly about their medical situation. This will help you provide better care that anticipates their needs. It will also make it easier to inform us about their situation during our free initial care consultation.
  
  
• Utilize Some Type of Emergency Service. No matter how many precautions you take, accidents can still happen. In the event they suffer a fall when you or their caregiver are not around, you need to set them up with a means of contacting help. A wearable emergency device is a great way to make that happen. If they have an accident, they'll be able to seek help without much movement.
