How Do Families Benefit from 24-Hour Home Care?

There are a lot of ways that quality of life improves for our clients and their families when they make the decision to begin 24-hour care in the comfort of their home. Visiting Angels of Missouri City, TX is proud to serve families and improve the quality of life for our neighbors.

Less Stress

The move to an assisted living facility can be very stressful for anyone; this kind of change is especially difficult for those who may already feel isolated from disability or disoriented from cognitive decline. Providing in-home care is a good option to reduce stress and make sure that day-to-day life runs smoothly and chronic conditions are properly cared for.

Empowerment and Social Connection

Our caregivers strive to foster an environment where our clients maintain their autonomy and dignity. When individuals feel respected and empowered, they are more able to be themselves and connect with friends, family, and their care providers for a meaningful life filled with good company and self-direction.

A Much-Needed Break

Respite care is a necessity when family caregivers cannot provide for care needs without suffering caregiver burnout. The need to be on-call 24/7 is demanding for anyone, but family members are usually also balancing the demands of careers, parenting, and other life needs at the same time. All areas of life can begin to show signs of wear, including and sometimes especially the relationships that matter the most.

24-hour home care gives family caregivers the ability to attend to other critical needs, take time for self-care, and enjoy quality time with their loved one in this important time.

Daily Tasks

When age and disability make it hard to keep up with basic tasks, quality of life declines, as can mental health. 24-hour home caregivers help with every aspect of everyday life, which provides relief and the ability to focus on the activities that our clients enjoy and are able to accomplish. We've found that relieving the pressure of day-to-day tasks like cooking, cleaning, laundry, and personal care goes a long way to improving daily life.

Peace of Mind

Knowing that one of our compassionate caregivers is always on hand in care of a need, large or small, gives our clients and their loved ones confidence and peace of mind. Whether it's a simple need like a midnight trip to the bathroom that would be dangerous or impossible without help, more complex disease care, or attendance in case of emergency, knowing that direct supervision and around-the-clock support is there makes a world of difference.

When Is It Time for a Visiting Angels 24-hour In-Home Caregiver?

While everyone's circumstances are different and unique, there are some situations that indicate it is likely time for 24-hour care:

Impaired Cognition

Any condition that causes confusion, wandering, agitation, and memory loss will usually require 24-hour attendance. Many of these symptoms present a safety risk, which is often heightened in the evening and nighttime hours. Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease cause these kinds of issues, as can a number of other conditions.

Mobility Problems

Parkinson's Disease, stroke, MS and other conditions can impair mobility, making simple movement and self-care difficult or impossible. When essential daily activities are compromised, and there is a significant fall risk, this means that continuous caregiving is necessary. This not only ensures safety, but can give family caregivers some much-needed rest. No one can keep up with this type of care, all the time, on their own.

Caregiver Exhaustion

Many conditions call for a high level of care than what a family caregiver can provide without suffering from burnout. If family members are experiencing exhaustion, burnout, or their other needs and responsibilities are suffering, that is a clear sign that help is needed. This usually only worsens until home care services are started.

Is 24-Hour Home Care the Same as Live-In Care?

No, they are not the same. Unlike live-in home care, 24-hour caregivers do not sleep in the client's home. Instead, caregivers attend on a rotation. Rotating shifts guarantee that your caregivers are refreshed, alert, and ready for anything. This is especially beneficial when wandering is a concern.
