Signs it's Time for In-Home Senior Care

Watching your parent or grandparent struggle with daily tasks can be humbling and very hard. Here are some recognizable signs that it’s time to being a caregiver into their home:

• Your loved one has trouble bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom
• They forget to take their medicine or take it at the wrong times
• Their home looks messier than usual
• They wear the same clothes for days
• You notice weight loss because they're not eating regular meals
• They've fallen recently or seem unsteady when walking
• They seem lonely, sad, or aren't doing things they used to enjoy
• You feel tired often from trying to help them yourself

Advantages of Senior Care at Home

Scheduling a visiting angel for non-medical home care services offers many benefits to seniors. First and foremost, they can sleep in their own bed and stick to their usual routines that bring them comfort. Our one-on-one care means that your loved one will receive our caregiver’s undivided attention. Caregiver visits lift our clients’ spirits and help seniors to stay more active and engaged than that might otherwise be by themselves.

Home care is about keeping your loved one safe and letting them live life on their own terms. Your customized home care plan can change quickly if and when your relative’s needs change. Our care plans are designed just for your loved one. We can start with a few hours a week and add more time as needs change.

Top of mind is always the question of costs. Home care costs vary based on how much help your parent or grandparent needs. The exact price depends on the unique situation, and many families in Port Huron find home care more affordable than they expected. Visiting Angels charges an hourly rate for home care services.

How our Elder Home Care is Different than Assisted Living?

Both types of care help seniors, but in different ways. Home care brings help to your loved one, while assisted living means moving to a new facility. With home care, clients receive one-on-one attention from the same caregiver each visit versus staff members who tend to many residents at once.

For many seniors who need help but not constant nursing care, home care is the ideal middle ground that provides support, socialization and maintaining their dignity and independence.

Pros and Cons of Choosing a Home Care Agency versus Private Caregiver

When you begin to look for home care, you may wonder if it’s better to hire through a home care agency or find a private caregiver on their own. A private caregiver may be cheaper, however the only way to know for sure that the caregiver is qualified is if they have been screened and trained for the duties.

Visiting Angels’ caregivers are subject to rigorous background and reference checks upon employment and receive thorough training from skilled, seasoned personnel. Further our level of care is quality-controlled through monitoring on an ongoing basis and there is always a care coordinator on hand that you can call if problems come up. With a private caregiver, there is no such oversight or quality checks like this.

Most families in Port Huron find greater peace of mind by using a trusted hha agency like Visiting Angels for their loved one’s safety and well-being. If you, your spouse, parent or grandparent are considering home care services in Port Huron, call our office today at (810) 966-2273. We can get you started on the path to reliable home care.
