When your senior loved one chooses to age in place you may have some negative ideas and thoughts about it. However, this does not have to be a scary or stressful thing for the family. There are teams of professionals who can help your loved one age in place. Your senior mom or dad no longer has to move into a community home to get the care they need, they can get professional help while they stay in the home they love. This is becoming a more popular trend as the years go on and seniors are aging happier and healthier. Here are some things you can do that will make your loved one’s life easier.
Hire Personal Care at Home
As seniors age, they may need more help doing things they have done in the past but can no longer do with ease. For example, a senior may love button-down shirts but they’re unable to button anything up on their own. This is when personal care at home can come in handy. They are professionals who can take care of small tasks while promoting independence. If your loved one needs help with things like getting dressed and bathing, personal care at home is the ultimate person to hire to make a senior’s life easier. Working in tandem with personal care at home allows you to focus on other needed areas with your seniors. You can enjoy their company, care for their house, or do other small tasks to help your loved one out.
Help Them Clean
You may remember your mom or dad cleaning once or twice a week but as they get older they may need more help with tasks like this. It is not easy to run a household and as your senior loved one ages, they will need more help. They may do the bare minimum or clean the easy-to-reach places, but to keep germs down you may need to help them with the deep cleaning. You can wipe down the bathrooms, and walls, vacuum for them, and much more. If you don’t have the time to do this for your loved one you may want to consider hiring a home cleaner or a friend to help keep the house tidy. You may not think a clean home is a big deal but the cleaner a house is the less germs will spread around keeping your seniors safer and healthier.
Maintain Their Yard
There are tons of health benefits of gardening for a senior but this does not always mean they can maintain a whole yard. It may be too much work for them especially if they have a massive yard. Mow their grass for them and allow them to focus on just a small plot. Take care of the leaves for them or even bothersome trees so they can focus on something smaller and still love it. Being outside is healthy for them but doing back-breaking yard work can be detrimental to their health.
