In Home Health Care Services For Active Seniors In Eldersburg, MD

Being Active Has Health Benefits

Many aging adults are concerned that being active may lead to injuries, the National Institute of Health says that injuries are more likely to occur in those who are inactive. Visiting Angels Eldersburg incorporates active activities into our in home health care services so your loved one can stay active.

“For the most part, when older people lose their ability to do things on their own, it doesn’t happen just because they’ve aged,” the NIH said. “It’s usually because they’re not active.”

The benefits of being active, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health (https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/sgr/olderad.htm), are as follows:

  • Lower possibility of falling and increased lifespan
  • Less chance of developing coronary heart disease
  • Better strength in those with crippling conditions
  • Improved mood and less anxiety or depression
  • Relief from arthritis in joints

It Can Improve Overall Well-Being

Feelings of guilt for not pushing their loved ones to stay active enough are very common in family caregivers. A lot of times, they just don’t know how to handle the situation.

Active activities are incorporated into our in home health care services. Do not hesitate to ask your loved one’s caregiver questions during their time with us. Being confident in your ability to get your loved one active going forward will improve his or her overall well-being.

We make a point to find out what your loved one likes to do around the house. This is then incorporated into their care so your loved one can do these activities more often and easily.

Exercise Makes Daily Life Easier

Once your loved one is staying active, there are four main areas that he or she should look to improve through exercises (https://go4life.nia.nih.gov/4-types-exercise). Visiting Angels Eldersburg In Home Health Care Services will help your loved one do these exercises at home and improve their daily life.

  • Endurance: Being out and about won’t be so physically draining.
  • Strength: Bringing the groceries in will be much less rigorous.
  • Balance: Fear of falling will dissipate. This is a major concern for seniors, as one in four fall each year.
  • Flexibility: Bending over or reaching up will feel a lot more comfortable.

Being active is a lifestyle that your loved one can start right now, regardless of past activity levels. Remember that doing something is definitely better than doing nothing.

"A Visiting Angel has been assisting my wife and I for nearly four years and we could not be more pleased with her. Not only is she competent, punctual and conscientious in her work, she has become a friend, sharing family photos, wedding pictures and Facebook posts. We are equally appreciative of the Visiting Angels support staff. In a world where it often seems like customer service is nonexistent, the Angels care coordinators are consistently responsive, cheerful and helpful."
