What Are the Advantages of 24-Hour Home Health Care?

Visiting Angels of Amarillo, TX can improve quality of life in many ways, including:

Reduce Stress

Everyone knows that the comfort of home, staying in an environment that is familiar, with family, friends, and pets, is less stressful than having to move to a facility. This is often an important part of a satisfying life and becomes even more needed in the face of aging and health challenges.

Dignity and Connection

Visiting Angels’ compassionate caregivers create a home environment that fosters respect, independence, and empowerment. When our clients retain a sense of autonomy, they thrive, knowing that their dignity will be maintained and respected. In turn, this can lead to more opportunities for social connectedness, both with caregivers and with friends and family.

Respite Care

When a family caregiver is unable to sustain a high level of care without sacrificing other needs, this can cause burnout. Burnout can become quite severe and cause many issues throughout the entire family. 24-hour home care provides a much-needed break, allowing family caregivers to restore balance to their lives and enjoy time with their loved one during the sunset years.

​Everyday Help

For many of our Amarillo, TX clients, simple daily activities like getting around the house, preparing meals, and personal care have become overwhelmingly difficult. We are able to help with all aspects of everyday life and personal hygiene, as well as any specific needs, allowing your or your loved one to be well cared for without the stress.

Confidence

When a professional caregiver is always on hand to provide direct supervision and around the clock support, both client and family experience increased peace of mind. When you know that everyday needs are attended to and that there is always someone there in case of emergency, you can rest knowing your loved one is all right.

Does My Loved One Need 24-Hour Care?

There are some circumstances that always, or nearly always, require 24/7 caregiving.

Memory Concerns

Conditions that cause confusion and impaired cognitive functions require 24/7 attendance for safety's sake. Risks such as wandering, injury, fire, and more mean that a caregiver needs to be present and alert at all times. Dementia and Alzheimer's disease can cause agitation and confusion in the evening hours ("Sundowner's"), which needs skilled management throughout the night.

Movement Issues

Many conditions and illnesses can cause mobility problems. Parkinson's, M.S., and stroke are some of the most common. When mobility is impaired, everyday tasks become impossible without assistance, and falls are a serious safety concern.

Reliance on Assistive Devices

Assistive equipment like wheelchairs, walkers, hearing aids, and the like can be extremely helpful. Sometimes, when they are relied upon more and more, it means that physical health is declining and more help is needed.

Caregiver Burnout

When a family caregiver is unable to provide adequate, 24/7 care without exhaustion and compromise of other important areas of life, burnout is inevitable. 24-hour care provides a much-needed break to restore life balance and allow for rest and refreshment. Typically this results in an improvement in following the care plan, especially when around the clock care is needed.

The Difference Between Live-In Home Care And 24-Hour Care

Live-in care is different from 24-hour care. Live-in caregivers stay in the home, with a bed, sleeping arrangements, and required rest time. In a 24-hour home care arrangement, two or more caregivers rotate shifts to ensure someone is always awake and available to assist the client when needed. Rotations ensure caregivers are refreshed and ready for anything. This is especially beneficial for seniors who may be prone to wander at night.
