  3. Reduced Skin Infections And Urinary Tract Infections. With 24 hour elder care, someone is there to notice changes. Urinary tract infections are common in older people and can contribute to serious physical and mental problems. A 24 hour caregiver can be alert to this possible problem and notify someone.

  4. Reduced Fall Risk Caregivers can support people who need assistance to get out of bed or are recovering from an accident or illness. Falls are the leading cause of death and disability for older adults. 24 hour care can go a long way towards preventing falls. A caregiver can assist someone getting out of bed, toileting and bathing. Decluttering can also reduce fall risk. A caregiver can take up throw rugs, declutter the area and suggest improved lighting. They can also accompany someone on walks.

  5. Lower Risk Of Dehydration And Related Fainting. Dehydration is common with older family members. Part of this is due to a decline in the thirst mechanism as we get older. With 24 hour senior care, your loved one can be reminded to drink throughout the day. This can reduce the risk of fainting or other medical problems.

  6. More time With A Companion Improves Socialization This is an underappreciated benefit of 24 hour care. Isolation can be devastating. Socialization, whether with the caregiver themselves or as a result of access that the caregiver can provide, can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Numerous studies have shown that socialization helps prevent cognitive decline. This doesn’t mean that having someone available 24 hours a day will “cure” dementia. However, it can improve mood, and decrease agitation.
