Home Care Services in Spartanburg: Supporting Your Loved One at Home

Seniors are rarely ready to give up their independence and the homes they love. If you have noticed your loved one is struggling to maintain their quality of life, there are solutions that do not require them to move from home. Home care services from Visiting Angels® Spartanburg provide friendly, supportive assistance that makes aging in place possible and minimizes the risks many seniors face when living alone.

Often adult children face difficult conversations with their aging parents when it's time to talk about securing home care services. There are many reasons why seniors aren't always open to this discussion. From fear of losing their independence to guilt that they are having to rely on family for assistance, seniors are often resistant to asking for help.

How can you know for sure if your loved one needs assistance at home before you initiate this discussion? There are few things to be on the look out for:

  • Being Overly Cautious. It's easy to forget that over-cautiousness can be just as dangerous to a senior's health as recklessness. However, hesitation on stairs or inclines or unsteady footing can lead to serious accidents. Those who have already sustained injuries are the most prone to this kind of fear which can directly contribute to re-injury if their anxiety isn't overcome. 
  • Declining Invitations to Stay Home. A senior's emotional well-being is just as important as their physical wellness and in fact, the two are closely linked. Those suffering from loneliness and isolation can lose the motivation to prepare nutritious meals or maintain good hygiene and gradually grow anxious and depressed. Isolation is a real concern among seniors and should be top of mind for family members.
  • Changes in Hygiene and Cleanliness. Often changes in how seniors maintain their personal health and cleanliness are indicators that they need assistance. Whether it's a home that is suddenly cluttered and dirty, or changes in personal grooming and weight changes, many families find these visual clues the most clear indicators that it's time to find outside help for their loved one.
