About eight out of ten older adults want to age in place. They do not want to move to a new neighborhood or town. They’re happy where they are. Your dad is one of them.
While he wants to stay at home, you realize he has some limitations that are going to make this hard. Companion care at home is a good solution to keeping him confident and happy as he gets older.
His Home is Clean and Organized
Caregivers can keep your dad’s home clean and organized. He has a caregiver to vacuum or sweep floors and tidy up clutter. His caregiver can dust furniture, take out the trash, and wash dishes. Counters and sinks are wiped clean with a sanitizing cleaner. The appropriate dishwasher cycle is selected and run if he has a dishwasher. Clean dishes are put away once they’re dry. Once a week, his towels and sheets are changed. They’re collected along with any dirty laundry and washed, dried, and put away.
He Has Help Running Errands
What errands does your dad have each week? He might need to run to the store to pick up groceries or household supplies. He has prescriptions to refill or packages to pick up at the post office. His caregiver can help him complete all of these errands.
Someone Else Cooks His Meals
Your dad has never enjoyed cooking. His idea of dinner is a can of soup that he microwaves or a frozen pizza. With companion care aides, he has home-cooked meals throughout the week. His caregiver will work with him or other family caregivers to create a weekly menu, shop for any required groceries, and put things away. When it’s time for a meal or snack, his caregiver is there to make it. Your dad also enjoys having a person at the table to chat with while he eats. After the meal, his caregiver can clear and wipe down the table, wash dishes, and put everything away.
Someone Else Does the Driving
When your dad isn’t supposed to drive, it can be stressful for him. He hates having to give up what he considers the biggest part of his freedom. Instead of him having to wait until you’re around on the weekend, he can have a caregiver to take him out to stores, community centers, senior centers, and area attractions. Caregivers can drive your dad to his appointments, too. Arrange companion care at home to help your dad as he ages at home. With a caregiver’s helping hand, he gets everything done without struggling to complete the more difficult IADLs and ADLs. Talk to a representative in companion care at home to learn more about the services and prices.
