How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

As your parents get older, their physical and mental abilities may decline. This can make it hard for them to maintain a safe and stable home life on their own. Moving to a care facility can be stressful and undignified, so it's always best to help them remain at home. To support your loved one and keep them where they belong, in home care services from Visiting Angels^® Sterling Heights are a great choice. We provide flexible and customized support to keep them safe, healthy, and comfortable. 

Along with our dedicated in-home support, we'd also like to share our tips for creating a safer and more positive home life for your loved one.

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Create a Safer Living Space. Visit your parent's home and create a plan to improve safety as much as possible. Some common tips include: Reducing clutter, adding hand rails in bathrooms and along the stairs, improving the lighting situation, making sure power strips are not overloaded, and installing functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Keep Up With Their Medical Needs. Book an appointment for you and your parent to visit their doctor. If your parent has not given you permission to view their confidential medical information, this is the ideal time to get that paperwork done. When you visit their doctor, your goal should be to learn about their physical and mental challenges. This will help you anticipate their needs and maintain a safer living space.  
• Utilize Some Type of Emergency Service. An emergency call device can be a great purchase. They'll be able to summon help in the event of a fall without getting up or seeking a phone.
