How to Help Aging Parents Stay at Home

In order to remain at home safely, many seniors need additional support. With our in home care services, Visiting Angels^® Greater St. Charles is here to provide the help you need. We offer flexible scheduling and customized care duties matched to your parent's specific needs. We can help with medication reminders, fall prevention, bathing and toileting care, transportation, healthy meal planning, light housework, and much more. 

As part of our commitment to helping each senior retain the independence and privacy of home, we work closely with family members to build the best care plan for each person. To get started, let's look at three key ways you can supplement our direct support and improve your parent's home situation. 

3 Tips to Help Your Elderly Loved One Remain at Home

• Enhance Their Home Safety. You can build a safer setting by cutting down on fall hazards throughout their home. Starting with the bathroom, we recommend adding non-slip mats as well as handrails near the toilet, shower, and tub. For the rest of the space, it's important to minimize clutter so they have nothing to trip over. Proper lighting also helps, so be sure to check every room. 
• Educate Yourself About Their Medical Needs. A great way to do this is to attend a doctor's visit along with your parent. This will allow you to hear firsthand about their medication needs, physical and mental limitations, and other important info. This is a great way to improve the quality of care you can provide for your loved one, and it will also help you better inform us during our initial care consultation. 
• Purchase A Wearable Emergency Device. If your loved one suffers an accident, the last thing you want is for them to be unable to call for help. A wearable emergency device can solve this issue and set your mind at ease. Should a fall or other type of accident occur, they will be able to easily summon help at the press of a button.
