How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

For seniors with declining mental and physical abilities, holding on to their home life can be difficult. However, remaining at home is a wonderful benefit that every senior deserves. To help your elderly parents continue to live with comfort, privacy, and dignity, you need to make sure they have some support. With in home care services from Visiting Angels^® Chicago, your parents will have wonderful care from a kind and compassionate senior care professional. 

Our support can play a central role in keeping your parents safe, happy, and secure in their own home. In addition, we'd like to recommend a few ways you can improve their living environment in order to comfortably extend their home life. 

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Remove Clutter and Improve Bathroom Safety. Clutter leads to tripping and falling, so make a plan to organize their home and get rid of unnecessary stuff. Many dangerous falls happen in the shower or when someone is getting off the toilet, so we highly recommend adding handrails and non-slip floor mats. 
• Visit Their Doctor. You want to stay as up to date as possible when it comes to their medical needs. This will help you monitor their medication schedule, assist them in following doctor's advice, and provide better care that anticipates their needs. 
• Utilize Some Type of Emergency Service. If your parent suffers a fall when you aren't around, you need to make sure they have the means to call for help. A wearable emergency device is a great way to reduce these concerns, as it allows them to summon help even if they cannot move.
