Live-in Senior Care Services Allows Elder Adults to Age-in-Place

If it’s becoming increasingly difficult to care for an aging loved one—perhaps due to your work schedule, distance, or the strain dealing with the unique behavior challenges of Alzheimer’s disease/dementia—moving to an assisted living facility, a nursing home, or another senior residential living home aren’t the only care options available.

Could your older parents or other family members benefit from someone living in the home with them, providing companionship and assisting them with daily living activities? A personal care home health aide who is at their home 24 hours a day may be the perfect solution for you and your loved one.

Live-In Care—Who’s the ideal candidate?

Most seniors want to live at home as they age. Non-medical live-in elder care can help make that a reality. If you notice any of the following in your elder parents’ moods, actions, or behaviors, they may benefit from having a professional caregiver live with them 24/7 in their home.

  • Having recently been hospitalized or coming out of a rehabilitation center
  • Seeing more unexplained bruising—this may indicate that they have been falling or tripping
  • Feeling isolated, depressed, or overwhelmed with caring for themselves
  • Needing assistance with eating and drinking
  • Wetting the bed or unable to go to the bathroom on their own
  • Having difficulties bathing, getting dressed, and/or performing other routine personal hygiene care without assistance
  • Increasing symptoms of dementia such as wandering, being confused, forgetting to take medications, and/or becoming agitated
  • Having difficulties with mobility and/or agility due to chronic pain, stroke, or other issue
  • Having a greater reliance on assistive equipment such as walkers, canes, stair lifts, etc.
