1. Where Do You Want To Receive Elderly Care?
Location, location, location. It’s important for business, for real estate, and for elderly care. Where do you, or where does your loved one, want to be when you/they receive care? One option is a long-term care center. These are facilities such as nursing homes, which help people with high-level needs. There are also assisted living communities for those who want care but who can still manage most of their own lives. There are also Alzheimer’s, dementia, and memory care homes for those with neurodegenerative diseases or brain injuries.
Always Best Care of Thousand Oaks offers assisted living placements. We’ll meet you and/or your loved one for a free consultation in your/their Conejo Valley home. We’ll assess your health and personal needs and recommend one or more assisted living communities in Conejo Valley that can meet those needs. Or, we can provide in-home elderly care.
2. How Difficult Or Easy Are The Activities Of Daily Living?
At Always Best Care of Thousand Oaks, we can provide all the care available in an assisted living community right in your own Conejo Valley home. This includes help with the activities of daily living. These tasks are easy for young, non-disabled people, but they’re often challenging for others. Such activities include preparing and eating meals, showering or bathing, basic nail care, and using the toilet. Our personal caregivers can help with all these tasks and more.
3. How Big Of A Concern Is Mental Health?
We often focus on the physical challenges seniors face because they’re often easy to see. However, many seniors face mental health challenges, too. These include problems such as loneliness, depression, and forgetfulness. Always Best Care of Thousand Oaks can provide a companion caregiver to have conversations with seniors, accompany them to appointments and events, reminisce with them, and monitor their wellbeing.
4. How Painful Are Chores?
Elderly care doesn’t have to save lives to be valuable; it can also benefit you by making life more convenient. Our home helper caregivers can do household chores and run errands for our clients. This means seniors can live in clean and tidy homes without worrying about painful and exhausting chores.
