Benefits of 24-Hour Home Care for Seniors in Georgetown, TX

When you are deciding which level of care is right for you, consider the following benefits of 24-hour care:

Independent Living

A sense of autonomy is essential for our mental health as we age. Aging in place fosters a feeling of independence and self-direction. Our clients can maintain familiar routines and preserve daily relationships. In-home care is a great option that enables family members to stay involved and present, which becomes much more challenging when a loved one transitions to a nursing home.

A Safe Environment

A licensed home care services agency like Visiting Angels puts a high priority on promoting safety and health in the home. We are trained to curate and monitor the home to allow our clients to enjoy as much independence as possible in an environment that is set up for success.

Compassionate Care

When age and disability are creating unsafe conditions in the home, or when you know that your loved one is no longer able to attend to their own comfort or manage an emergency, both seniors and their families suffer from the strain. Stress and worry create a cycle of worsening physical and mental health, which in turn creates more stress. Senior care takes the stress off everyone, improving symptoms and overall quality of life for everyone.

Nursing homes are another option that can provide this kind of full-time care; however, most nursing homes are unable to offer one-on-one attention to their residents due to a high patient-to-care provider ratio. In-home caregivers provide personalized, tailored care—day and night. This leads to a higher quality of care and greater peace of mind.

Support for Family Caregivers

Caregiving is a tough, draining job. Family members and friends can become physically and emotionally drained when a loved one needs 24/7 care. Our 24-hour care providers are an excellent solution, offering the best care to your loved one while relieving family caregivers and allowing them to take a much-needed break to rest, recharge, and take care of other life needs.

Respite care is a necessity when a family member requires ongoing, 24/7 care. Our professional caregivers are here to lighten this heavy load. Many times, families are balancing full-time care with other responsibilities, such as a career, family, and personal needs. Without a break, family members will become burned out and unable to meet any of these needs. We can help the family reset and find balance again.

Social Wellness

Seniors and individuals with disabilities commonly experience loneliness and isolation. This is a profoundly distressing experience that can be made worse by the loss of friends, family, or a spouse. Hearing loss also contributes to a sense of isolation. Visiting Angels caregivers ease loneliness by providing companionship and engaging conversation, as well as helping seniors maintain relationships and engage in the community.

An Affordable Alternative

24-hour home care offers a more affordable way for seniors to access around-the-clock support and receive comprehensive services, even in the middle of the night. Senior home care providers are able to offer excellent care without the high costs of nursing homes and residential facilities.

Georgetown’s Care Community

Common Signs That 24-Hour Home Care is Needed

Sometimes, it's not easy to know when it's the right time to bring in a professional caregiver. If this is your first time making this important decision, here are some key indicators to look out for.

Increasing Health Concerns

If your loved one is experiencing frequent medical emergencies, that can be a good sign that it's time for 24-hour home care. As chronic conditions worsen, emergencies become more frequent, and continuous monitoring is needed.

If chronic conditions are getting worse, there's a greater need for help with everyday tasks and nighttime needs.

If you observe that your loved one is struggling to manage their medications appropriately, this is also a good indication that more care is needed.

Mobility Challenges

Frequent falls, trouble walking, balance and coordination impairments, and difficulty in transferring are all warning signs that a 24-hour care option is the right type of care. These kinds of concerns can cause severe issues when an individual is left unattended even for short periods of time.

Cognitive Decline

Worsening cognitive impairments pose a safety risk, especially in the evening and nighttime hours. 24-hour home care is a good option to provide support and safety when memory loss is impacting daily activities. Confusion, disorientation, wandering, and episodes of getting lost are all red flags that the cognitive decline is severe enough to require 24/7 support.

Difficulty with Daily Activities

If you notice that your loved one is struggling with their personal hygiene or grooming, if they are having issues with meal preparation or eating, or they just can't perform basic everyday household tasks, this is another cue that extra help is needed. Elderly adults who experience these challenges may feel too embarrassed to ask for help; it's important to remain alert to their condition and the condition of their home environment.

Caregiver Burnout

Caring for aging parents or loved ones is hard! Another sure sign that it's time to consider 24-hour care services is if family caregivers are feeling overwhelmed and overburdened. Increased stress, exhaustion, and caregivers being unable to meet their own needs all mean that it would be wise to consider getting some respite care.
