Unfortunately, as seniors age, their ability to perform activities of daily living can decline over time, and their family members may be unable to provide around-the-clock support. However, there is a solution to this dilemma. With 24-hour care from Comfort Keepers, our caregivers provide seniors with high-quality care 24/7 while allowing them to remain comfortably and safely in their own homes. This service also provides families with peace of mind while knowing their loved one is in good hands and their needs are being met. If you are unsure whether your loved one needs 24-hour care, there are various signs to look for that may aid your decision.

Balance Issues or Falls

It's never easy to watch your loved one struggle with balance and movement, but if they're falling frequently or having trouble with balance, they may benefit from 24-hour home care. When seniors experience falls, they may not be able to get up on their own, so constant supervision is recommended for their safety. 24-hour caregivers can help seniors with various activities, such as getting in and out of bed, toileting, and bathing. They can also help declutter the home of any potential fall hazards and accompany your loved one on walks and other outings.

Difficulties Eating or Drinking

Your loved one is at risk of severe dehydration or malnutrition if they have difficulty eating or drinking without assistance. With 24-hour care, a caregiver can ensure they are getting the nourishment they need by helping with meal preparation and feeding if necessary.

Hospital or Rehabilitation Discharge

If your loved one has had a recent hospitalization or rehabilitation stay, it can be difficult to recover at home without constant care. 24-hour in-home care following a recent hospital discharge can allow their recovery to be safer and smoother. A 24-hour caregiver can also notify the family if they notice any changes during their loved one’s recovery to help prevent readmission and other serious issues.

Worries at Night

If you are afraid to leave your loved one alone at night or find it challenging to get sufficient sleep as the primary caregiver, 24-hour care offers a solution for everyone to get much-needed rest. The presence of an overnight caregiver can give families peace of mind and reduce their worries. They can be there to assist your loved one through the night with trips to the bathroom and help them with any issues that may arise.
