How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

Living at home is a wonderful way for seniors to enjoy more peace and dignity as they age. Unfortunately, many seniors struggle to remain safe and comfortable at home without any support. With in home care services from Visiting Angels^® Newington, you can give your elderly parent the best chance to continue living in their own space. We provide loving care customized around their needs, directly in the comfort of their own home. 

Along with our attentive in-home support, there are a few ways you can improve their living situation and increase their odds of avoiding a care facility. Here are our recommendations. 

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Create a Safer Living Space. Remove hazards that may cause a potential fall. You can do this by keeping their home more organized, so that there aren't any objects cluttering up the floor. Since the bathroom is the site of many dangerous falls, you should also consider adding handrails and non-slip mats. Additional recommended safety measures include the installation of stronger lighting and making sure their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. 
• Keep Up With Their Medical Needs. When their mental and physical abilities begin to decline, they will rely on you and their caregiver for support. In order to provide the best care possible, it is important to fully understand their needs. Schedule a doctor's visit to attend with your loved one. Hearing their medical details firsthand from their doctor is a great way to more effectively manage their needs. 
• Utilize Some Type of Emergency Service. It is important to have a plan in place in the event of an emergency. If your loved one is home alone or simply in another room away from earshot, they may have difficulty summoning help. With a wearable emergency device, you can set your mind at ease, as they'll be able to call for help without getting up.
