Does Your Loved One in Jenkintown, PA Need Seasonal Home Care Assistance?
Seasonal home care assistance from Visiting Angels helps seniors in Jenkintown, Abington, Ambler, Horsham, Hatboro, Philadelphia and surrounding areas in Eastern Montgomery County, PA enjoy the holiday season with loved ones
Autumn and early winter are filled with holidays – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. For most of us, the holiday season is a time for friends and family. At the same time, to most of us, holidays are a time when we have more obligations and plans than usual because of the upcoming festivities. During this period, primary caregivers for senior loved ones can find themselves under a lot of pressure. With an elderly parent to look after adding to the growing list of responsibilities, the holiday stress can become overwhelming, simply too much to handle alone.
On the other hand, even seniors who are still vital and completely independent can use some help to manage their hectic holiday schedules better. Activities such as shopping, wrapping gifts, preparing holiday meals and attending social and family events may be too much for your loved one if they need to plan everything by themselves. Things can additionally get complicated if your mom or dad relies on family visits for company. With no time in your schedule for visiting, your loved one can feel less important, sad and lonely.
That’s why Visiting Angels Jenkintown helps seniors in Eastern Montgomery County by providing seasonal home care assistance. With our compassionate and experienced caregivers, your loved one can get the support they need so they can spend quality time with the people they care about.
How Seasonal Home Care Assistance Provides Help During the Holidays
The holiday season is often a difficult time for seniors, according to The American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry. Most aging adults tend to reflect on the people they miss, like a spouse who is no longer with them or adult children and their families who live out of town and are unable to visit.
One option to help your loved one avoid feeling lonely or overexerted and get the most of this holiday season is to hire professional home care assistance from Visiting Angels Jenkintown. Our dedicated caregivers can temporarily help mom or dad with:
- Homemaking
- Cleaning
- Cooking
- Driving
- Running errands
- And other activities
Furthermore, opting for seasonal companion care services is particularly popular during the holidays. For older adults who live alone, having a professional caregiver who will visit occasionally and keep them company can mean so much.
Flexibility When It Is Needed the Most
Getting started with seasonal home care assistance is easy. Just talk with your parent about their possibilities and then schedule care as often as they need it. As the schedule of visits is flexible, you can initially start with eight hours per week and then proceed with more or fewer hours, depending on how beneficial these services are for your loved one.
It is also important to note that seasonal care is not just for your parent – it can allow the primary caregiver to rest and the entire family will have peace of mind knowing Mom or Dad is in good hands.
Consider hiring professional home care assistance even if your loved one does not need full-time care right now. Having an existing relationship with a professional caregiver can make it a lot easier should your parent’s needs suddenly change.
