In-Home Care in Sheboygan County, WI

Comfort Keepers offers in-home care throughout Sheboygan County and the surrounding areas.

If you realize that the time for care for a senior loved one is rapidly approaching, here are a couple of tips in order to do so.  First, talk about senior care from the perspective of a senior and explain the benefits that come along with it.  Second, discuss the alternatives, specifically living in a nursing home, as most seniors will likely prefer in-home care.  Realize that having a conversation about care is likely to require a long discussion on multiple occasions.  Encourage other family members to sit down with your loved one and discuss senior care options, as more points of view are always better.

When discussing in-home care with your senior loved one, discuss the benefits that are offered. Our caregivers often bring seniors to the Senior Activity Center of Sheboygan so they are able to spend time with others who have similar interests.  When talking about senior care, also bring up Interactive Caregiving, something that Comfort Keepers offers in order to keep aging seniors active in all aspects of their life.  Our goal is to make sure our clients are happy and active as possible in order to enjoy their lives.

Another concept to discuss when talking about in-home care with a senior loved one is the alternatives, most notably living in a nursing home.  In most cases, seniors aren't interested in living elsewhere, especially a nursing home, making home care the best option.  When discussing the concept with your senior loved one, ensure that they will be able to live at home as long as possible.  Since almost anyone likes to be in a familiar environment, this should be able to quell their fears.

When discussing senior care, don't push the concept too quickly, but rather, bring it up on multiple occasions.  As with anything in life, people need to consider concepts multiple times before making a decision.  Seniors are likely to focus on the negative aspects of having someone else in their home initially, but may eventually look at the positive aspects that our caregivers provide and decide that in-home care is best for them.
