Benefits of Professional In-Home Care for Seniors in Raleigh, NC and Surrounding Areas
When a senior loved one begins to show signs that they need assistance with certain aspects of everyday life like running errands, cooking, and bathing, it can be stressful to find the best solution for your particular scenario. Many families assume that relocating a loved one to a nursing home or having them move in with family makes the most sense. However, more and more seniors in Wake County are choosing to live out their golden years in their own homes. Professional in-home care can make this option, also known as "aging in place," much easier.
Your loved one probably has a routine that helps them feel more in charge of their life and provides them independence. If your loved one moved into an assisted living home, they would have to follow a routine that was established by the personnel of the establishment. On the other hand, with in-home care, they may go about their regular activities as usual while a trained caregiver ensures their safety and comfort.
If you don't like the idea of relocating a loved one to a nursing home or similar community, you may ask them to move in with you and your family. However, this often sets a precedent where family members assume caregiving responsibilities. Even though you want to make sure your loved one is safe and comfortable at all times, you may not always have the time or resources to provide the support they need. Over time, you may star to feel burnt out from caring for your loved one, which can not only affect your quality of life, but also affect your ability to care for your loved one. However, by hiring a professional caregiver to provide in-home care, you can focus less on caring or your loved one and focus more on your career, your family, your own interests, or spending quality time with your loved one.
In addition, the option of receiving care at home can be beneficial for seniors living with health conditions that impact their memory and cognition, such as a stroke or dementia. These conditions can often make major life changes confusing or upsetting, and moving into unfamiliar surroundings would definitely be considered a "major" change! Expecting a loved one to move away from the home they know and love can negatively impact your relationship over time and can lower your loved one's quality of life. However, by receiving professional in-home care, they can remain in familiar surroundings while receiving assistance with everyday tasks.
