Companion Care in St. George: How We Can Help Your Parents Take Care of Each Other

Your parents made a vow. Years ago they stood before their friends and family and promised to be there for each other in sickness and health. Now as they age, that vow holds true. They may see it as their duty and right to continue caring for each other, and they may be hesitant to rely on the professional companion care services at Visiting Angels® St. George.

It’s understandable that couples in the St. George area may not want to rely on companion care services. They might see relying on care as a failure of their own abilities. They may be worried about losing their independence, and they may be hesitant to invite a caregiver into their home.

Why Companion Care in St. George is Needed

While your parents may have seen each other through countless injuries and illnesses, taking on the challenges that come with aging is a different story. Providing the consistent, long-term care needed by an aging spouse can leave a primary caregiver isolated, overwhelmed, and exhausted, especially when this caregiver is facing their own age-related difficulties.

It’s easy to put your own needs on hold while caring for a spouse. One parent may be skipping meals, exercise, and sleep to keep up with the other's needs. One may miss appointments and social events because they are afraid to leave the other alone.

While it may be ok to neglect your needs for a few weeks or months while a spouse recovers from an illness or injury, when caring for an aging spouse, they may need constant attention for years or decades. Over time, the stress and exertion of providing care can leave the primary caregiver exhausted, ill, and in need of as much care as their partner.
