Adult children often faced decisions about who will assume the responsibility of caring for an aging parent. While there are many options, balancing the needs of mom or dad with a full life is a challenge. The good news is, you can play an active role in caring for a parent, with the help of trained professionals.
Here’s how to improve quality of life for an aging loved one with in home skilled nursing.
When mom or dad needs to follow a complicated medical treatment plan or needs regular insulin injections, having a trained professional on hand is a big help. With years of skills developed through years of hands-on training, the right agency can provide Registered Nurses, LVNs and CNAs for a higher level of care. Even for an hour or so here or there, professional help brings experience and formal care when you need it most.
Increased Meaningful Time
With busy work schedules and other demanding responsibilities, caring for an aging loved one at home leaves little time for fun. An at home nurse can take the burden off family caregivers by attending to a parent’s basic needs like dressing, bathing, and eating. With mundane responsibilities attended to, families have more time to spend together that’s meaningful.
Increased Independence
It’s a well-known fact that seniors who age at home lead happier, healthier lives. When mom or dad isn’t fully equipped to handle the housework, grocery shopping and more, an extra hand is always a welcome addition. In home nursing isn’t only for medical needs. In fact, the best agencies provide companionship, transportation and can even help with light housekeeping. With household help, seniors are more confident, improving outlook and mood.
