When to Choose Senior Home Care in Lubbock and the Surrounding Area

Narrowing down the best option for senior home care for your loved one can be overwhelming. Your decision process likely entails considering factors such as your loved one’s specific needs, family circumstances, age related concerns, budget, time, and other factors.

If you’re looking for quality care that promotes aging in place and is cost-effective, senior home care might be your best choice. Below are common scenarios where it makes sense to consider care from an agency like Visiting Angels Lubbock:

• Your loved one wants to stay at home but needs a helping hand

  Some seniors just need an extra hand with meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry, or companionship during the day, Senior home care from Visiting Angels Lubbock promotes independence, allowing your loved one to continue performing the daily tasks he or she can do for as long as possible.

• Your loved one is facing health or mobility challenges

  Many mobility and health concerns can be safely and effectively managed at home. In-home personal caregivers can provide medication reminders, transportation to medical appointments, fall prevention, safety assessments, and other services to help seniors manage their medical needs.

   

  Visiting Angels also offers Constant Companion, which combines voice-activated medical alert technology with Amazon’s Echo Dot device to provide 24/7 access to emergency responders. And best of all, Constant Companion works without a wearable device.

• Your loved one has dementia and wants to remain in a familiar place

  If your loved one is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, familiar faces and surroundings as well as daily routines may be essential to their well-being. In-home personal care helps your loved one stay safe and receive the customized dementia care he or she needs from a trusted caregiver.

• Family caregivers need a break

  Respite care provides family caregivers with emotional and physical relief they need, so they can practice proper self-care, concentrate on work or family, manage responsibilities, and avoid caregiver burnout.

• Your aging parents need different levels of care, but they don’t want to be separated

  When older spouses have different care needs, a senior care facility could separate the couple. Separation could cause significant distress to seniors who have spent nearly their entire adult lives together. Senior home care can provide an alternate option that allows spouses with more care needs to receive personalized assistance without having to undergo a stressful move or separation.

• One of your aging parents can no longer meet the care needs of his or her partner

When an older adult has spent a lifetime with his or her spouse, it’s only natural to want to care for their ailing partner at home. However, even though one spouse may be healthy, he or she is still aging and may not be able to cope with his or her partner’s care needs indefinitely.

A professional caregiver can keep both older adults in your life safe and healthy in their home. Additionally, your parents can receive customized care for their unique situation.
