1. What is Live-In Home Care?

2. What is Live-In Home Care? Today's seniors are getting savvy about aging, and they've realized that even as their ability to care for themselves decreases, a nursing home isn't their only option. One excellent choice that many seniors are making? Live-in home care. Live-in home care allows a senior to continue living comfortably at home while a live-in caregiver helps take care of many of the tasks that make living alone so difficult.

3. Help With Personal Care Tasks No one wants to think about then they're no longer able to take care of their personal care tasks. Getting dressed in the morning, fixing their hair, brushing their teeth: this task that most people take for granted until they simply aren't able to do them anymore. Many caregivers are also able to assist with taking medications and other medically-necessary tasks. Whether it's due to a faulty memory that can't hold on to whether or not their teeth have been brushed that night or a physical inability to take care of these essential tasks, having helped at hand can be a lifesaver.

4. Peace of Mind at Night Nighttime is the hardest time for many seniors who are on their own. The risk of falls is greater at night, especially in the middle of the evening, when they're trying to shuffle down the hall to the bathroom in a hurry. A live-in caregiver provides the peace of mind that can only come from knowing that there's someone in the house who will hear it if they fall and call out for help There's no need to wait for help to come from miles away with a live-in caregiver; instead, that help is in the next bedroom.

5. Help With Light Cleaning A live-in caregiver isn't a maid. Most of the time, they aren't going to take care of the deep-cleaning tasks. As seniors grow older, however, even basic cleaning can feel like a tremendous weight on their shoulders. From hauling that laundry basket full of clothes into the laundry room to wrestling the vacuum cleaner on the floor, there of tasks that seem to become more difficult with every passing day. A live-in caregiver can help with these tasks, keeping the house clean enough to live in instead of allowing it to deteriorate.

6. Help With Meal Preparation Many seniors find that cooking for one or even two is simply too much effort. Once they can no longer visit restaurants on their own, they find themselves reaching for something simple: a sandwich, a microwave bowl of soup, Live-in caregivers can help provide healthier meal options, preparing healthy, easy to warm meals for the hours when they won't be on duty.

7. Help With Meal Preparation Live-in caregivers provide companionship, assistance, and security for many seniors. When loved ones aren't available to help take care of the day-to-day tasks of living, live-in caregivers can step in and provide the assistance that many seniors need. It's a wonderful opportunity that allows many seniors to continue aging in homes, remaining there for much longer than they would have been able to otherwise.
