How To Help Your Aging Parent Remain At Home

As your parents get older, they may face difficulties with living at home comfortably. At this point in time, it's worth helping them plan ahead to make sure their needs are looked after. At Visiting Angels^® Upland, we don't just provide in home care services, we also help families plan and prepare for aging in place. 

Let's review some tips to get started.  

How To Prepare For Aging In Place in Upland 

For families in Upland, there are many ways to make sure your parents can stay at home for the foreseeable future. Here's where to begin: 

• Incorporate regular check-ins. Even if your loved one is in peak health right now, it's important to have regular check-ins. That means scheduling visits with doctors and other members of their health team. It also means checking in with your parent every four to six months, to make sure their needs haven't changed in any way. 
• Make sure they have support. It's crucial for seniors to have support in some form or another. Whether that's regular visits from friends or family or dedicated in home care services, assess what's needed. Can a family member drop off cooked meals every once in a while? Can you schedule professional care in the Upland area every week? 
• Have a plan for emergencies. Unfortunately, preparing early for emergencies is a vital step. An emergency call button can be a great way to make sure your parent can always get support immediately. It's also helpful to discuss what happens if their physical or cognitive abilities worsen down the line.
