How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

If your parents struggle to maintain a safe and comfortable home life on their own, we are here to help. With flexible in home care services throughout Santa Barbara County, Visiting Angels^® Santa Barbara provides a kind and compassionate presence you can trust. Our caregivers will be there to make life safer, easier, and more convenient for your parent, helping to avoid the need for a care facility. 

While direct support is the most important element in any plan to extend a senior's home life, there are a few other ways you can help. Your first objective should be to limit the risk of dangerous falls. Seniors often slip when using the shower, so non-slip mats and handrails can really help. To increase visibility throughout the home, make sure every room has effective lighting. Reducing clutter is also a great idea, so make a plan to go through their home with them and remove things they don't need. 

In order to provide effective care and inform us about their care needs, you need to be fully up to date with their medical situation. Attending a doctor's visit along with your parent is a great way to learn their limitations, understand their needs, and keep up with advice from their doctor. To protect them in the event of an emergency, purchase a wearable emergency device they can use to call for help, even when they are unable to move. 

Following these steps will help to create a safer living space where they can enjoy excellent care and age with dignity.
