Ensuring your loved one's safety is crucial in-home care. Aging increases the risk of accidents, and seniors may struggle with tasks like driving, cooking, and laundry. In-home care should be considered when daily tasks put them in danger. Comfort Keepers in Gatlinburg, TN, can help meet your loved one's needs and reduce their risk of accidents.

Driving and Reduced Eyesight and Reflexes

Driving is a source of independence that many people want to retain. As people age, their eyesight may deteriorate, or their reflexes may slow down. Some seniors may have already been in an accident. Some seniors know when to stop driving and may already avoid certain situations, like going at night or in the rain.

When loved ones can no longer provide transportation, they may struggle to meet their basic needs for food, medication, healthcare, and social interaction. Home care services can help bridge this gap and prevent your loved one from being at risk. Comfort Keepers caregivers are available to run errands, drive your loved ones to appointments, and assist with shopping to ensure they have access to essential resources.

Mobility Issues

Ensuring the safety of your loved one's home is essential when they experience mobility issues, which can increase the risk of accidents. Activities such as bending over, using a step stool, or carrying heavy loads can pose a threat. Bathrooms can also present significant challenges for aging individuals.
