Care At Home

Americans, as a standard, are an independent people. This makes sense given that freedom and independence were foundational tenets of our nation. Today’s seniors also come from a strong and proud generation. For many seniors, the idea of losing their independence due to an injury, illness, or age-related degeneration is more troubling than thoughts of passing on. Thankfully, with Comfort Keepers at home care, even seniors who struggle with daily living tasks can safely remain in their own homes.

Research suggests that seniors who are able to remain at home are happier and healthier than those who spend their senior years in a nursing home. Granted, part of this is because nursing homes tend to take in seniors with the most severe health issues, but, even among those with similar challenges, seniors who receive care at home tend to fare better.

The Advantage of Care At Home

One of the primary advantages to receiving care at home and aging in place is decreased stress and anxiety. Remaining in one’s own home, surrounded by memories and personal conveniences, is not just comforting, it can be cathartic. In addition to items, seniors who remain at home tend to stick to their own schedules, routines, and plans. For those who may be set in their ways, not having to turn their world upside down and learn new routines and ways of institutional living is a tremendous benefit.

Care at home also decreases stress and anxiety associated with “being a burden”. While many seniors receive wonderful care and support from family caregivers, many still struggle knowing the strain they place on their family and friends. Even when family members truly don’t mind providing the care, seniors often grapple emotionally with the idea. Professional caregivers make seniors feel more self-reliant and independent since they are not leaning on family and friends for care and support.

Topping off the reduction of stress and anxiety related to care at home is the concept of choice. With Comfort Keepers home care, seniors still choose how they want their clothes folded, what foods they want to eat, what shows they want to watch, how they want their hair styled, where they want to go and when, and so forth. Even in areas where care and support are provided, the senior’s voice is heard and respected. It is hard to feel truly independent when such foundational choices are taken away, yet, in an institutional setting, many of these choices must be relinquished for the sake of group safety and logistics.

In short, when seniors require support to remain independent, care at home allows them to receive this support in the comfort and convenience of their own residence. This lowers stress and anxiety, promotes feelings of self-worth and self-reliance, and helps maximize quality of life.

    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.
