Advantages of Full-Time Home Care Services for Seniors in Annapolis, MD and Surrounding Areas

Does your senior loved one need full-time care at home? Learn why families in Annapolis, Glen Burnie, Millersville, Pasadena, Crownsville, Arnold, Severna Park and surrounding areas in Maryland are choosing home care services from Visiting Angels.

Typically, family and friends will take on the responsibility of caring for an aging loved one. While it is often a top priority, other obligations – personal or professional – may prevent you from delivering the care your loved one needs. Scheduled visits and/or part-time in-home elder care may be a good solution at first, but there may be indications that a senior loved one needs ongoing care, particularly if they have a chronic disease that impairs their physical and cognitive ability.

Visiting Angels Annapolis' full-time home care services provide comprehensive assistance while allowing your senior loved one to age in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. A professional caregiver's companionship and aid with daily duties may bring emotional and physical advantages that retirement homes or assisted living facilities do not.

How Can My Elderly Loved One Benefit from Full-Time Care?

One-on-One Care

You obviously want your loved one to have 24-hour access to high-quality senior care seven days a week. We can guarantee that your senior loved one will receive professional, one-on-one home care services without interruptions at Visiting Angels Annapolis. You never have to worry about them forgetting to eat or take their medication, spending too little time outside of the bedroom or wearing clothes that need to be washed. Our individualized care plans will guarantee that your loved one receives necessary attention at all times of day and night.

Your elderly parents may bathe or shower in the privacy of their own home, in their own bathroom. They'll enjoy their favorite foods in the comfort of their own home, accompanied by a dedicated caregiver. Furthermore, while providing full-time care, our caregivers form close relationships with their care recipients, promoting communication and trust while reducing loneliness.

We provide a range of services that meet both mental and physical requirements. Furthermore, our caregivers are equipped to offer more specialized support for seniors suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic ailments and even end-of-life situations.

Rather of transferring to a more expensive senior living facility, Visiting Angels Annapolis can provide specialized care in the comfort and security of your loved one's own home.

Seniors Remain Safe and Comfortable

By understanding and fulfilling the particular requirements of older individuals, our full-time home care services promote improved living circumstances and quality of life for seniors.

Infections are frequent among nursing home residents. Each year, 1-3 million infections occur in long-term care facilities in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This might be owing to the institution being understaffed and underequipped to meet the needs of its residents, or it could be due to inexperienced staff members.

Full-time care, on the other hand, gives your loved one care and attention 24 hours a day, seven days a week, lowering the risk of falls, soiled clothes, bedsores, infection and neglect.

Aging in Place

Although nursing homes and assisted living facilities are popular options for seniors who need more care, many seniors would like to stay in their own homes! According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), around 90 percent of older adults in the United States want to spend their golden years at home for as long as possible. This is often largely due to the fact that they have lived at home for a long time and are comfortable in their surroundings. Moving to a senior living community, on the other hand, entails relocation to a new and unfamiliar environment. This may cause your loved one to become confused or terrified, especially if they have dementia.

Our full-time home care services allow seniors to live in their own homes with dignity. The familiar noises and scents of home may help your loved one retain a psychological connection and maybe boost memory in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease.

Giving Families Peace of Mind

Full-time care provides your senior loved one with ongoing assistance and companionship in the comfort of their own home, and their happiness at home will provide you with much-needed peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your career, family, and self.

Caring for an elderly loved one without professional home care services from Visiting Angels Annapolis may be very tough as a family caregiver, and caregiver burnout can occur if you do not take a break. Full-time care, on the other hand, guarantees that your senior loved one gets the attention they need in their home 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while you and other family members rest by taking time off or going on vacation.
