Do you have concerns about your loved one’s safety when they’re alone at home? Do you worry about them getting up the stairs, down the driveway, or even in and out of bed? For someone who is caring for a frail loved one, these are perfectly reasonable concerns. Every year, preventable slips and falls claim the lives of countless seniors across America. Even if a fall isn’t fatal, it can cause real damage to a vulnerable senior’s precious health. Fractures, broken bones, and prolonged hospital stays can all take a toll on an elderly individual and put additional strain on their families. Fortunately, much of that can be avoided with elder care from Visiting Angels^® Humble. Our companion caregivers can provide a watchful eye and a helping hand to seniors in our community to help them stay safely in their own homes.

Elder Care: Keeping Your Loved One Safe at Home in Humble

Of course, our caregivers can provide the kind of assistance you’d expect from any quality elder care provider, including helping your loved one with everyday challenges like maneuvering around the house. However, at Visiting Angels Humble, we also know that keeping a senior safe at home means more than just keeping an eye out for dangerous situations. It’s also about building up their confidence. A senior who has been injured at home may feel frightened of being injured again and, as a result, begin to avoid activity altogether, leading to a decrease in their overall happiness and health. Our elder care not only safeguards your loved one’s health, but also helps build their confidence, too.

Preventing Hospital Readmission in Humble

Despite the very best efforts of family, friends, and caregivers, not every ailment is avoidable. Illness, injury, and even certain scans and scopes can require a senior to spend time in the hospital and away from home. Whatever the reason for their stay, when a senior returns from a hospital stay, they need the right support to ensure that they don’t need to be readmitted. Helping seniors to follow doctor’s aftercare instructions and avoid strain are two of the key components of our Ready-Set-Go Home program. Our companion caregivers provide non-medical elder care that helps prevent seniors from worsening any existing conditions and stay on a healing track.
