The Myth Of “One Size Fits All” Home Care for Seniors in Wheat Ridge, CO and Surrounding Areas
Here’s why Visiting Angels provides personalized in-home care for seniors in Wheat Ridge, Denver, Golden and surrounding areas in Colorado
When an elderly loved one requires professional care, finding the right provider in your area can be a difficult, time-consuming process. Even when you know exactly what type of services your Mom or Dad needs and which questions to ask at the homecare agency, it might take some time to find the ideal fit. On the other hand, if you are unfamiliar with the caregiving industry, making the best decision for your parent can be even trickier.
Another tough aspect of this process is to distinguish agencies from one another. Many agencies operate on a “one size fits all” basis and when you sit down with the representative of such an agency, you may quickly discover they do not quite fit Mom or Dad’s needs.
At Visiting Angels Denver, we don’t believe in the “one size fits all” model. We cater for many different seniors and handle many different situations. Our care plans are thoroughly personalized and backed by comprehensive senior care services and flexible care plans.
Why the “One Size Fits All” Approach to Senior Care Does Not Work
It is obvious why the idea of “one size fits all” in-home care for seniors may sound appealing, both for families and professional agencies. For families, this type of caregiving makes it easy to find care for a loved one with very little trouble. For agencies, it means they do not have to go to greater lengths and offer personalized care plans or special programs.
Be it as it may, there is an equally sound reason why “once size fits all” care does not work. To put it as simply as possible, in its very essence, home care is a deeply personal business as every senior has unique needs.
“One size fits all” approaches all clients as if their needs are the same, which is almost never the case. The end result is low-quality, subpar care. The purpose of homecare is to improve one’s quality of life and allow them to age in place. But when homecare is not tailored to meet their unique requirements, the care recipient’s quality of life will suffer and it will be harder for them to remain living independently at home.
That is why we firmly believe customized care for seniors is the best, if not the only, way to go and we offer a superior alternative to “one size fits all” care.
