Learn about our in home care for seniors in Portland, OR.
Portland, now the biggest city in the great state of Oregon, had a senior population of around 10.5% at the last census. Of this populace, 35% live alone, though these numbers do change over time. And with so many boomers coming of age, the number of seniors in Portland is set to rise considerably over the coming years. This unprecedented increase in the elderly population means there is also a growing demand in home care support services.
Portland In Home Care
The ageing population of Portland is an active bunch with over 9,500 of them still in gainful employment. Even so, there is no escaping the reality; the older someone gets, the less they can do. There are exceptions to the rules of course. But for the most part, people do need some assistance with everyday living tasks as they become older and a little less able. Overall, seniors prefer to age in the comfort of their homes if there’s a choice.
Luckily, there are plenty of options for pensioners today thanks to Portland’s trusted and quality in home care. Grandchildren and other close relatives are usually more than happy to help the elders in their family. However, in a lot of cases they can’t always be there when someone needs help. This is where the services in home care can step in and fill the void.
Here’s a quick list of the most popular, trusted in home care services available in Portland, OR:
Housekeeping (light domestic duties)
Transportation (rides to and from appointments, events, etc.)
Medication management
Meal preparation (including special diets)
Personal hygiene (dressing, bathing, grooming, etc.)
Companionship and many other services
There are also more specialized services, arranged on a case by case basis. Home help gives less able seniors the opportunity to stay in their homes. Home is not only the most natural environment, but it’s better for physical and mental wellbeing too.
Those who work in home care services offer three vital benefits to Portland’s seniors:
Safety
Comfort
Independence
There are some fantastic long-term institutional care facilities for the elderly, and they do have their place. But today, residential nursing homes are not the only options for seniors.
