Choosing to remain at home in senior years, as health deteriorates and mobility declines, brings a variety of challenges to older adults. Some seniors are perfectly fine on their own despite minor health concerns, only requiring a bit of assistance here and there. However, many older adults need higher levels of support to maintain their independence and continue aging at home.
If you have noticed that your loved one could use help with personal care and hygiene, personal home care services from Visiting Angels Central Coast include services such as hygiene maintenance, bathing or showering and grooming, all of which can boost their quality of life and self-confidence.
