Four Things to Look for in Your Senior’s New Home

January 10, 2020 By Stephanie Miller

Home Care in Oregon City OR: Senior Home Tips


If your senior is thinking about moving to a new location, there are some big factors for you and her to consider. These are just some of the main ones to keep in mind as you and she look. Even if she doesn’t decide to move in the end, these are considerations you can apply to her current situation, too.


Where the New Home Is Located

The location of the new place is probably the first thing you’ll both talk about. Ideally, it should be near other family members or friends as well as other places she frequents. You might look at where she spends the majority of her time when she’s out of her home and go from there. If she’s far away from the places and the services that she needs the most, that can make her life more difficult than it has to be.


Whether There Are Maintenance Concerns

One of the biggest concerns for your senior in a new place to live is likely going to be what types of maintenance concerns she’ll have to manage. Exterior maintenance, like lawn care, is something that is helpful to outsource. If your senior is able to have someone else handle other types of maintenance, like repairs or changing filters, that can be helpful, too.


How Safe it Seems

When she goes to the neighborhood and spends time there, does she feel safe in general? How about in the prospective new home? It’s really important that she feels secure. This is true on multiple levels. There’s the neighborhood safety, which is something you can’t change on your own, and then there’s physical safety in the home. Handrails are an excellent example, because they can help your elderly family member to keep her balance.

It Might Also Be Good to Bring in Extra Help

Something else to consider is that it might be time to consider hiring home care providers to help your senior with a variety of tasks. If she’s able to outsource maintenance and repairs, then having someone to help with household chores, meal preparation, and other tasks can be even more help to her. This can be a way to help you to feel more comfortable with the changes she’s going to experience, too.

Lots of aging adults feel that their current homes are too big or too difficult to maintain. That’s a big reason for many to consider moving and could be behind your senior’s desire to find a new home.

    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.
