As people age, they have a need for constant companionship. If you and your family cannot provide the level of companionship to best benefit your elderly loved one, you can turn to home care services. A professional that provides in-home senior care can help your loved one with a variety of tasks, aside from anything related to their health or wellness.

Common Tasks

Paperwork – Assist with paying bills, writing letters, making lists, handling subscriptions and even clipping coupons

Exercise for the Brain – Help with brain exercises including simple crosswords, word searches or card games to keep the brain stimulated

Minor Household Chores – Water the plants, help choose clothing items, dust, vacuum, change linens and obtain the mail

Meals – Assist with meal planning, preparation, shopping for the ingredients, organizing the pantry and watching food expiration dates

The right in-home senior care professional can provide just about any non-medical need your loved one might have including any social, household or personal tasks that they can no longer handle. It is important to help your loved one retain their independence as long as possible. With the right home care services, they can feel independent without too much pressure from family or loved ones trying to take over the tasks themselves.
