Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego homecare and home nursing agency supports Home Care and Hospice Month and shares tips on How Home Health Care Helps Seniors Live Happier Lives.

“Senior citizens are happiest when they can remain independent, and stay in their own homes as long as possible. Home health care makes that possible,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways home health care helps seniors live happier lives by staying in their own homes safely.

Health Care Providers Help with Daily Activities
Things many people take for granted, like getting dressed, making meals and completing basic hygiene tasks can be daunting for the elderly. In fact, they can be dangerous. Daily activities are common reasons elderly individuals move into senior assistance facilities or with grown children and their families.

Home care professionals offer in home care, helping seniors with daily needs, keeping them safe, comfortable and in good health. Home care providers can do everything from laundry and dusting to helping seniors bathe and take care of their oral health.

In Home Care Offers Safety
A qualified professional home health care provider can assess the home to ensure it is safe for an older individual. Seniors often have limited physical abilities and lack the balance they once had in youth. In home care providers can suggest modifications to make it easier for seniors to get around safely.

Quality Home Health Care Providers Offer Companionship
Many seniors face depression, which can negatively impact health and well-being. Older individuals are often separated from their families by distance or physical disability and home health care providers relieve feelings of sadness and isolation. Home caregivers will also help seniors enjoy outdoor activities whenever possible, enjoying sunshine and fresh air.

Family members who decide to care for loved ones at home often face challenges leading to high levels of stress and anxiety. In home care services can help, providing medical expertise, companionship and peace of mind in an uncertain time. Here are three ways professional in home care can ease stress.

Qualified Medical Expertise On-Demand
Without medical training, meeting senior needs can be complicated – it helps to have a professional on hand with the skills and know-how to help. In home care professionals can track complicated symptoms, administer medications and offer expertise as needed.

A Helping Hand
Professional caregivers offer far more than medical expertise, and can assist with housework, shopping, even transportation. For busy families, having someone available that’s trusted to cook a meal, vacuum or help with day-to-day activities is invaluable.

Peace of Mind and Companionship
In home care requires an “always-on” mentality, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated. Hiring a professional is a smart way to give family the time they need and deserve to step away and recharge. With trusted expertise available, family members can relax with confidence that a loved one is in good hands.

Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego homecare and home nursing agency Supports National Physical Therapy Month and shares How Caregivers Can Help with In-Home Therapy.

“Homecare providers can help the elderly remain in their home longer and enjoy life to its fullest, even helping seniors find relief from aches and pains,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

San Diego Homecare caregivers can assist the elderly with home therapy for chronic pain

Get Seniors Active and Moving – Getting the joints and muscles moving is a healthy way to lubricate painful areas, bringing blood and nutrients to injured areas. Many in-home caregivers and home nurse specialists are trained to help elderly people develop an exercise plan specifically designed for their abilities, ensuring that they understand the routine, and have help performing activities safely.

Keep Tabs on Prescription Medication – Opening pill bottles is a challenge for many seniors. However, when pain is severe, taking more pills than prescribed can be tempting. Trained and certified home nursing professionals can help by filling daily pill holders, making certain there are no extra pills available.

Seek Additional Help – Getting around outside the home is often difficult for older individuals. When pain is overwhelming, a professional caregiver can assist by ensuring seniors arrive at a physician’s office or physical therapist appointment. Having a caregiver present when the doctor or therapist explains treatment is an invaluable resource.
