Signs in Your Senior’s Home That Might Indicate They Need Home Care this Summer

July 6, 2018 By Stephanie Miller

Home Health Care in Tigard OR: Senior Home Care Needs

One of the most important decisions you can make as a family caregiver is when it is time to start home care for your aging parent.

Integrating an in-home senior care services provider into their care can make a tremendous difference in their quality of life, support their health and well-being, and ease the stress in your daily life.

 

You want to make sure you are making the decision that is truly right for your aging parent, which means evaluating their condition and identifying ways they might need support and assistance. It is important to pay attention to their needs, functioning, and symptoms, but evaluating their surroundings can also give you useful insight into issues that could be resolved with the additional help of home care.

 

Some signs in your senior’s home that might indicate they need home care this summer include:

 

    • The lawn is not well cared-for, especially if tending to the grass or gardening used to be something they enjoyed.
    • They have not gotten their mail or newspapers.
    • There are scratches, dents, or other damage to their car that might indicate they have gotten into accidents recently.
    • The inside of the home is cluttered, as if they haven’t tidied recently, or are no longer able to identify what is not important, such as not being able to divide needed mail from junk mail.
    • The inside of the home is messy, especially if they have always been a clean person.
    • The laundry has built up in the bedroom or laundry room as if they have not been doing their laundry recently.
    • You notice loads of laundry that have been mixed inappropriately.
    • They haven’t taken out the trash recently.
    • If they have pets, they have not been cleaned up after, do not appear to have food or water, or seem to not have what they need.
    • The home is hot and humid rather than being a cool, comfortable and safe temperature.

 

 

If you’ve noticed your aging parent is exhibiting new challenges, you may be concerned about how you will be able to handle them.

If you are like most family caregivers, you are already exceptionally busy, particularly if you are a part of the sandwich generation and caring for your aging parents as well as your children. The thought of increasing your care efforts can seem intimidating, but home care can help.

An in-home senior care services provider can step in to fill care gaps such as those created if your schedule becomes too busy. They can also manage care tasks that are too difficult for you based on your own challenges and limitations, or that are potentially sensitive and that your senior or you are uncomfortable with you handling.
Not only does this ensure your parent is getting all of the support and assistance they need, but can also reduce stress, and Foster a closer and more meaningful parent-child relationship while improving the benefits of your parents care.

If you or an aging loved-one are considering Home Health Care in Tigard, OR, please contact the caring staff at Integrity In-Home Care.

    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.
