In Home Care in Boerne: Helping When Family Isn't Nearby

While FaceTime and texting make it easier than ever to stay in touch with the people we love, wherever they may be, there are some things that are a lot more challenging tackling from a distance. At Visiting Angels^® Boerne, for example, we hear from a lot of families outside of the area who are trying their best to look out for their elderly loved ones here in Boerne, and we're more than happy to help with our in home care.  

Ways You Can Support Your Loved One in Boerne

If you have a relative in Boerne who may not be doing so well at home on their own, there are plenty of steps you can take from afar to promote their well-being. Some of these steps include:

• Planning regular video chats -  Using Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, our any other video technology to chat can be a great way to keep in touch on a regular basis. It also gives you the opportunity to actually see how your older loved ones are doing.
• Arrange visits from friends or other relatives - If you can't visit your loved one as often as you like, look into other options to keep them socially active. Are there other relatives who may be able to visit more often, or do you know any friends or neighbors in your family member's community who can drop in on a regular basis? If so, introduce the idea of a visit schedule so you know your loved one won't go too long without a visit.
• Automate whatever you can - These days, there are few things that you can't accomplish online. Consider setting up automatic bill payments, prescription refills and deliveries, grocery deliveries, and other services so that your family member has everything they need when they need it. 
• Set up home care - By arranging in home care from a provider in Boerne, you can make sure that someone is there to help your family member with the basic tasks they aren't able to manage anymore, to monitor their condition over time, and to provide comfort and companionship.
