24-Hour Home Care in Scarborough, ME, and the Surrounding Area

Learn why many seniors require more intensive care and choose around-the-clock care to stay independent.

It is not unusual for seniors to receive assistance with daily living tasks to remain independent and avoid a move to an assisted living community or nursing home. For many elderly individuals, a loss of mobility or dexterity, chronic pain, or cognitive impairment makes daily living tasks difficult or impossible to accomplish alone. Even so, most seniors wish to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. In-home care providers can make this option a reality for your loved one in Scarborough, ME. 

How Can 24-Hour Home Care Help You?

Comfort Keepers specializes in home care focusing on improving a senior's independence, safety, and quality of life. For many seniors, a few hours of support a week is enough to keep them at their best. Others, however, may require significantly more care.

Some seniors with progressive or chronic medical conditions may need support throughout the day and night. In these cases, 24-hour home care is available. This specialized care is also helpful in the short term when a senior is recovering from an injury or illness and requires assistance due to pain, mobility restrictions, or a lack of transparency (often a side-effect of medication).

24-hour home care is often required in the later stages of dementia and Alzheimer's disease to keep seniors safe. Caregivers help with:

  • Medication management
  • Meal preparation and grocery shopping
  • Personal care such as bathing and grooming 
  • Companionship and conversation if your loved one is prone to loneliness 
  • Transportation to and from appointments 
  • Assistance while running errands 
  • Keeping seniors from wandering, being locked in or out of the home, or even becoming trapped in a room in the house

In short, a senior may require 24-hour home care for many reasons. With Comfort Keepers, this care can take place 24 hours a day, 365 days, in their home's comfort, convenience, and familiarity.
