How Caregiver Services in Sacramento Help Seniors Stay Independent

When given the choice, most seniors will choose care at home over living in a nursing home. That's been documented repeatedly over the years in various studies and reports, and that may be the case for your loved one. But it's not only a matter of preference. With professional caregiver services from Visiting Angels^® Sacramento, seniors can often stay independent with a greater level of ease and for longer lengths of time. It's an opportunity to give your loved one consistent and rewarding support while honoring their need for autonomy. 

Here are just three different ways in which in-home care, such as caregiver services from Visiting Angels Sacramento, can help to support seniors retain their independence: 

• A healthier life. Plenty of studies show that seniors who stay at home with professional care have a longer life expectancy. They're also shown to face fewer mental, physical, or emotional challenges related to health. This, in turn, equips your loved one to live on their own more easily and comfortably, with the compassionate support system they need.
• A sense of familiarity. Caregivers can help seniors maintain the rhythms of the daily life they enjoy. In a setting like a nursing home, often the facility will dictate times for meals, group activities, and other day-to-day happenings. Personalized home care allows your loved one to continue living life the way they want, on their schedule. 
• Social support. Seniors face a tremendous amount of social isolation, which can lead to depression and other health concerns. A regular caregiver can provide the kind of companionship and friendly presence that lifts their spirits. Plus, our caregivers can help your loved one stay connected to family and friends by helping set up video calls and more.
