Why Should You Choose In-Home Care?
Lots of seniors, as well as younger people with disabilities, can benefit from care. Care helps people live healthier, more enjoyable, safer, and more convenient lives. Many people receive care in long-term care facilities.
These communities, such as assisted living communities, independent living communities, retirement homes, and dementia homes, offer great services and facilities to the residents. But these long-term care centers aren’t for everybody. Maybe you love your Pittsburgh-area home and don’t want to move. Maybe you don’t like the communal aspect of life in these centers. Or maybe you just don’t want to pay the sometimes considerable rent and fees it costs to live in these communities. If you answered yes to any of the above, you should know your in-home care options.
What Are Your In-Home Care Options?
Always Best Care of Fox Chapel is proud to offer different in-home care services. Every one of our clients receives in-home care services that are tailored to their needs and wants. We divide our in-home care services into three categories. These are:
- Companion Care
Many seniors struggle with poor mental health or emotional wellbeing. One major cause of this is isolation or semi-isolation. Retirees don’t see coworkers everyday anymore and many don’t have family or friends they see often in the Pittsburgh area. This can cause isolation, loneliness, depression, and a detachment from the outside world. An in-home companion caregiver visits clients in their Pittsburgh-area homes. While there, they ask them how they’re doing, converse with them, reminisce with them, help them with correspondence and more. - Home helper services
Another major struggle for seniors involves caring for their homes. Chores and errands are a lot of work. Home helper caregivers can help with dusting, vacuuming, mopping, laundry, and errands such as grocery shopping and picking up medication. - Personal care
Personal care helps seniors with the activities of daily living. These are everyday tasks that are easy for many people, but seniors and those with disabilities might find them challenging. These are tasks like brushing one’s teeth, basic nail care, using the toilet, showering and bathing, getting around in a wheelchair, and preparing and eating meals. Personal caregivers can help with all these activities and more.
