Quality Home Care in Somerset County: Helping Seniors Feel Comfortable With Care
When seniors start to have difficulty with the tasks that relate to daily living, it's time to consider care at home. It may be they're neglecting personal grooming, or have expressed how hard it is to climb up and down the stairs lately. Maybe they've been diagnosed with a memory disorder or other health condition that requires attention. If you have an aging loved one, quality home care from Visiting Angels® of Morris and Somerset County can provide an ongoing system of support from a professional caregiver.
But sometimes it can be difficult for our loved ones to admit they need help around the home. Having a conversation about their needs is an important first step in finding quality home care in Somerset County.
3 Ways You Can Get Impactful and Quality Home Care in Somerset County
If your loved one needs quality home care but is having difficulty admitting it, there're ways to make them feel more comfortable with the idea of getting help. Here are three suggestions from our care team at Visiting Angels of Morris and Somerset County:
- Make sure they know you're on the same team. When our loved ones feel threatened, sometimes it's easy for them to lash out, making these conversations difficult. It's important to make sure your family member feels supported and knows that you're trying to help them find a solution that's right for them.
- Ask them what they want. Seniors can sometimes feel like professional home care services will take away their sense of independence. It's important to get support that works for them. Make sure they have input on the type of care they require, and how often they need it. We always personalize our care services based on our clients' preferences.
- Get them involved. It can be helpful for your loved one to get involved in choosing the care that's right for them. With our accredited home care agency, you can Select Your Caregiver®, meaning your loved one can weigh in on the caregiver that's right for them.
If you have a family member who needs support, Visiting Angels of Morris and Somerset County can assist you and your family in having important conversations about quality home care. Our in-home consultations are available to seniors throughout Somerville, Far Hills, Basking Ridge, Bridgewater, and Warren.
