In-Home Senior Care in Houston, TX

Call for a Virtual or In-Home Assessment

If you are searching for senior care for your loved one in Houston, TX, the process can be overwhelming. Perhaps you need help deciding how you can keep your loved one happiest and in their own home, or you’re unsure of your loved one's needed level of care, or maybe this is all very new to you and you want more information. At Comfort Keepers, we are happy to answer any of your questions and help you better understand your options for senior care at home in Houston. 

In-home care is an ideal solution for older adults who wish to remain in their homes but still receive assistance with daily tasks.

What Is Senior Care at Home?

Your loved one's physician provides great medical care, but what happens when your senior loved one returns home and forgets to take medication or doesn't have the mobility necessary to bathe every day? This type of situation can cause a lot of anxiety for both the older adult and the family members responsible for his or her care. If your loved one doesn't want to move away from home but also has trouble managing daily life alone, what are your options?

Our in-home caregiving service provides companionship, helps your loved one complete daily tasks, and ensures safety as your loved one ages in place at home. We provide experienced and compassionate care in the same way that a family member would so that your loved one can remain at home for as long as possible.

Why Is In-Home Senior Care Important?

Senior care at home provides vital assistance during a regular day, after a hospital stay, or during a transitional part of life. Consider these other benefits of in-home care:

  • It allows your loved one to live at home: Even if your loved one needs a high level of daily care, he or she will likely be more comfortable in his or her own home. Many older adults now choose to age in place instead of moving somewhere else for their care.

  • It gives your loved one peace of mind: Your senior loved one may worry about completing regular daily activities — even if he or she hasn't voiced this concern to you. Our caregivers can take on many duties around the house to give you and your loved one peace of mind.

  • It reduces caregiver burnout: You or other family members can experience high levels of burnout if you are the only caregivers for your loved ones. You may feel as though you are juggling your work, life, and caregiving responsibilities without a break — and soon, you may even neglect yourself. By employing Comfort Keepers' in-home respite care service, you reduce the risk of feeling overwhelmed.

What Services Are Typically Included in Senior Care at Home?

While in-home care does not look the same for every older adult, there are a few commonalities. Here are some topics you can expect to talk about with your Comfort Keepers team:

Companionship

Seniors who live alone often experience a decline in their mental health. They may not have the social outlet of a career or a part-time job, and they might have stopped driving due to personal preference or physical health difficulties.

Even if your loved one is not prone to depression or anxiety, he or she may feel a loss of everyday socialization and relationships. According to the CDC, social isolation and loneliness are linked to poor mental and physical health in older adults. Comfort Keepers can help by providing constant companionship that your loved one can count on.

Assistance With Daily Tasks

You may typically think of many daily activities as errands, for example, dishwashing, meal prep, and so on. However, some of these tasks are necessary for survival. If your loved one can't run to the post office today, but you can help her with it tomorrow, it's probably no big deal. However, if she can't safely make breakfast for herself, this situation becomes a problem. Comfort Keepers makes senior care at home possible by assisting in the following ways:

  • Grocery shopping and preparing nutritious meals

  • Transportation to activities

  • Assistance with technology

  • Making important appointments

  • Reminding your loved one to take medication at appropriate times

  • Communicating with healthcare professionals

  • Helping your loved one get appropriate exercise and keep up with physical or occupational therapy exercises when indicated

Help Maintaining Hygiene Routines

Hygiene is essential to your well-being, but you may not notice how much importance you place on tasks such as bathing, brushing your teeth, and washing your hair until you are not able to complete them by yourself. Comfort Keepers Personal Care Services can help your loved one maintain good hygiene in the following ways:

  • Helping with personal care such as brushing teeth, washing hair, and bathing

  • Providing clean clothes and undergarments every day to keep your loved one warm and comfortable

  • Assisting with toileting or incontinence care

Options for Specialized Care

For our senior clients who need a little bit more help, we provide both short-term and long-term specialized care. Your loved one may need 24-hour care, care within a facility, care at home after a hospital stay, or simply to maintain comfort at the end of his or her life.

We also offer specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care. Experts often recommend home care for seniors as a great option for dementia clients as it allows a person with memory impairment to remain in a familiar environment that he or she considers safe. Everyone's situation is unique, and we will work with your family to find the best possible arrangement.
