How Can In-Home Care Help The Elderly? (Especially After A Bout Of Covid-19)

In-home care is a type of care that seniors in New Mexico avail themselves of for a number of reasons. Some need in-home care to manage their day-to-day lives, some use it to make their lives more convenient, and some use it to recover from Covid-19.

In-Home Care

There are several well-managed assisted living communities in the Albuquerque area. These facilities provide care for their residents while encouraging them to manage their own lives as much as they can. Always Best Care of Albuquerque provides assisted living placements to help New Mexicans find the best assisted living community for them. But assisted living isn’t right for everybody.

Many elderly folks love their Albuquerque homes and would like to stay there as long as they can. Furthermore, assisted living can be quite expensive. If you own a home in the Albuquerque area, then moving into an assisted living community would almost certainly be more expensive than arranging for in-home care. That’s why Always Best Care of Albuquerque offers a range of in-home care services.

In-Home Care – Companionship Services

A lot of elderly people don’t have family or friends in the Albuquerque area who can visit with them. These seniors often live somewhat isolated lives and this can cause loneliness and depression. Other seniors suffer from neurodegenerative diseases. In-home companion care can help with seniors’ mental health. Companion caregivers visit clients in their Albuquerque homes, converse with them, encourage them to be social, and monitor their mental and emotional wellbeing.

In-Home Care – Home Helper Services

Even young, able-bodied people find household chores annoying, and even healthy seniors find these chores painful and exhausting. Home helper caregivers help seniors with chores such as cleaning and laundry as well as with errands such as grocery shopping.

In-Home Care – Personal Care

Personal care helps seniors take care of themselves. Personal caregivers help seniors with mobility issues, with bathing/showering, using the toilet, and more. Personal caregivers can visit seniors in their Albuquerque-area homes every day or even multiple times a day.

In-Home Care – Covid-19

Seniors who contract Covid-19 have a much higher likelihood of experiencing severe symptoms than younger people have. Even seniors who have been vaccinated can experience strong symptoms. These symptoms can linger after the Covid-19 viral loads dissipate. In-home caregivers can take care of seniors while they recover from the fatigue and discomfort of Covid-19.
