Jul 12, 2019 by Stephen R

For families who live away from their elderly loved one, home care providers, like Comfort Keepers offer regular updates to families about the elder’s well-being — and with that, assurance that the senior is receiving the best possible home care for elderly.

In addition to peace of mind, home care for elderly providers can deliver a wide range of services, working with elders and their families to create care plans that meet their specific needs. These individual care plans allow elders the opportunity to age in place, safely and securely. Home care for elderly provides support to help preserve elders' dignity and independence as well.

Home care for elderly offers housekeeping and personal care services.  Housekeeping services include light housekeeping, errand services, grocery shopping, respite grooming and dressing, incidental transportation, laundry service, meal preparation and more.  Personal care services include bating, mobility assistance, transferring and positioning, toileting and incontinence, oral hygiene and feeding and special diet assistance. There may not be an immediate need for all of these services now, but the great thing about home care is that it offers plenty of home care for elderly plans that can be added or modified as needs change — all in the comfort of home.
