Benefits Of Home Care: Janet was having a difficult time in her 70s.

Following surgery, a medical emergency, and a number of chronic health issues, she didn’t know how much longer she would be able to live independently.

She understood something about the benefits of home care but had never looked into it enough to know what benefit it would really offer.

Each week, someone in her family would stop by to help her.

They would check in on her, get her groceries, help her do laundry, and run errands for and with her.

After a while, though, the errands were being done without her. She missed getting out and about. Most of her days were spent indoors, in her home, surrounded by the silence that comes along with getting older and living alone.
She felt like she was losing her grip on her life, her independence, and even her balance. She tried to ask her adult children and some friends or neighbors for help getting exercise and doing other activities, but they were either too busy or didn’t think that was a good idea because of safety concerns.

That’s when she started thinking more about senior care.

She contemplated moving to an assisted living community. She thought about independent living facilities. What she ultimately decided on was home care.

This type of senior care is one of the preferred options for aging men and women because it allows them to remain in the comfort of their home, even if they have a balance or other challenges.

What she found rather quickly when this home care provider started working with her was how much life she could still enjoy. They talked and the home care provider learned a lot about Janet’s life, her passions, and some of the things she never got to try, like learning to play the piano.

This senior care provider understood that quality of life doesn’t have to end just because somebody is struggling with balance and other issues. Janet started getting exercise, going for walks with the help of this senior care aide. She was thrilled to discover the benefits of home care.

Benefits Of Home Care: She also began taking piano lessons.

The senior care provider offered transportation to bring her to the music teacher. Everything that Janet had been worrying about, had given up was now possible thanks to senior care.

She felt stronger in her legs. She was moving more smoothly. She was enjoying life. Sometimes, quality of life can have a significant impact on a person’s mental and emotional health and well-being, regardless of age.
