How We Assist with Aging in Place in Yakima

Aging in place can be a possibility for your loved one, even if they are currently facing difficult age-related issues or diagnoses. At Visiting Angels® Yakima, our senior care services are specifically designed to help seniors remain at home despite challenging circumstances.

For many seniors, living in the comfort of home is essential to a positive experience of growing older. However, these individuals often find that independent living is unsafe or unmanageable without a helping hand. As we age, we generally lose the coordination required to conduct basic activities of daily living. Arranging access to in-home care can make a huge difference in seniors' quality of life as well as their safety at home.

The Importance of Aging in Place

AARP has reported that almost 9 out of 10 Americans over 65 want to live at home. It is understandable that the overwhelming majority of older adults would prefer to stay in comfortable surroundings for as long as they can. Aging in place enables these individuals to continue going about their daily routines, participate in their favorite hobbies, and engage in those small rituals that make life meaningful. This ability is often crucial to their emotional well-being.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

One of the most common alternatives to at-home care is living in a retirement center or nursing home. This requires seniors to move away from the space where they feel most at ease. In addition to having to trade a familiar environment for new surroundings, seniors often must follow the rules and schedules of the assisted living community. This can hamper their feeling of independence and cause them to lose their autonomy prematurely.

How We Help Families in Yakima

We help families in Yakima by offering the range of caregiving services older adults need to age in place. Our care providers give seniors a helping hand with activities that may be difficult for them to attempt on their own. For example, your loved one's caregiver could assist them with running errands, doing light chores, getting dressed, and cooking meals.

Our care professionals also engage in conversation and companionship with seniors, reducing their risk of senior isolation. Because we take on some of the more laborious aspects of caregiving, we also make it easier for families to enjoy quality time together.

We can make aging in place a realistic option for your loved one in Yakima, Cowiche, Ellensburg, Selah, Tieton, or a nearby community. Contact Visiting Angels Yakima today, and we'll meet with you for a free consultation!
