Companion Care in Oklahoma City: How We Can Help Your Parents Take Care of Each Other

When one of your parents becomes the primary caregiver for the other, their relationship can change drastically. Your parent may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and isolated due to their caregiving duties. In addition, they may begin to experience age-related challenges themselves that make caregiving difficult. Companion care can be the key to enabling your parents to continue living at home in Oklahoma City while ensuring they are receiving the specific care services they need, including comprehensive senior care and respite care. At Visiting Angels® Oklahoma City, we offer companion care services for elderly adults living throughout the Oklahoma City area, including Yukon, Reno, and the neighboring communities.

Why Companion Care Matters for Elderly Couples in Oklahoma City

Your parent may feel that it is their duty to care for their spouse. After all, “in sickness and in health” is one of the most memorable wedding vows. However, the pressure of being a primary caregiver can take a toll on the elderly. You may notice that your parent is socially isolating themselves in order to spend more time caring for your other parent. They may even neglect their own health, including quality sleep and nutritious meals, to be there when their spouse needs them most.

It’s often difficult to determine if your parents are struggling in their old age, as it’s not uncommon for parents to want to hide uncomfortable realities from their children. However, this denial can have dangerous consequences for both parents. That’s why it’s critical that adult children dig deep to determine how their parents’ quality of life is faring in the face of a spousal caregiver arrangement.
