Providing care for an elderly person can be overwhelming both emotionally and physically. This is especially true if you are trying to provide care for an elderly loved one on top of actually running your life as well. This doesn’t mean, however, that you need to send your elderly parents to a nursing home or extended care hospital facility. This is not a desirable choice for many families, and through home-based elder care Nassau County NY residents are able to remain in their own homes for much longer while still receiving the care and attention that they need to maintain their functioning and quality of life.
Elder care Nassau County NY professionals are dedicated to providing the highest quality of personalized home health services, meaning that your parents’ specific needs will be evaluated when you first meet your team of nursing professionals and those needs will be used to devise a strategy for addressing those specific needs that is appropriate for them.
There are many ways that a compassionate and caring home elder care team can improve your elderly parents’ quality of life and help take a tremendous amount of pressure off of you. These include:
1. Skilled nursing visits that include assessment and monitoring of the patients’ condition
2. Administration of medications and treatments that were prescribed by the patients’ physicians
3. Supervision of anyone else that is caring for the patients at home and education on how to properly address medical needs if the nurse is not available
4. Assistance with personal hygiene such as bathing and grooming
5. Assistance with activities of daily living such as meal preparation, eating, housekeeping, doing the laundry, shopping for groceries and other household needs
6. Transportation to physician appointments or treatments
7. Education and support for both the patients and their family members so everyone is informed regarding the progress of the patients and each person’s role in helping them achieve their treatment goals or just maintain their quality of life
8. Friendship and personal support. This is an important role in which a home elder care worker acts as a companion for an elderly person that may spend a considerable time alone. This professional may also help with activities such as shopping, preparing of meals, tidying up the home, and helping with personal needs
These services can make a huge difference in the life of an elderly person, and give you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are well cared-for even when you can’t be there to do it yourself.
