Does Your Elderly Loved One Need Help with Daily Living Activities?

May 8, 2020 By Stephanie Miller

Elder Care in Beaverton OR: Daily Living Activities


Is your elderly loved one getting older and needing more and more help with daily living activities. This happens to many elderly adults and it is nothing for them to feel ashamed of. As a family caregiver, you should keep an eye out for the things that your elderly loved one needs. They might not specifically tell you everything that they need help with. If they already have an elderly care provider to help with some things, make sure they are looking out for other things, as well.


List of Activities of Daily Living


There are many things that your elderly loved one might need help with throughout their day. Some of these things include the following:

  • Dressing
  • Bathing
  • Toileting
  • Eating
  • Continence
  • Transferring
  • Meal Preparation
  • Transportation
  • Communication
  • Taking and managing medications
  • Housework
  • Shopping
  • Finances


These are some things that your elderly loved one might need help with. If you or their elderly care providers notice they need more help with these things, it is time to set up a plan to figure out how to best assist them.


Independence Level

The more that your elderly loved one needs help, the less independence they may have. This might mean they need more assistance from you or elderly care providers. Some of the things you can ask to check on your loved one’s independence level include the following:

  • Does your elderly loved one need help to take a bath or shower?
  • Does your elderly loved one need help to brush their teeth or hair?
  • Is your elderly loved one having difficulties getting themselves dressed?
  • Is your elderly loved one having a tough time swallowing foods without cutting up the food first?
  • Does your elderly loved one need help going to the bathroom?
  • Is your elderly loved one having accidents (not making it to the toilet in time or not having control over their bladder or bowels)?
  • Is your elderly loved one often asking for help getting them up and down from chairs or from bed?
  • Does your elderly loved one need transportation to and from appointments?
  • Is your elderly loved one still able to prepare their own meals?
  • Is your elderly loved one still able to use the phone without help?


These are some of the best questions to ask to figure out what type of help your elderly loved one needs.

If your elderly loved one does need help with daily living activities, make a plan today to give them the extra assistance they need.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
