Is home care better than moving to an assisted living facility?

We get this question a lot! When asked, 9 out of 10 of older adults say they would prefer to live independently in their home rather than moving to a facility or assisted living community.

The great news is that the right level of support can make this a reality for most people, even those living with a progressive illness or medical condition.

"Our mom needed in-home care this year. She is now 90 and really wants to remain in her home. The staff at Home Care Assistance have been instrumental in making that happen.

We all work full-time jobs, so were unable to care for our mom during the day. They come in the morning and prepare her breakfast and lunch, work with her on memory exercises and take her to appointments as needed. The staff are kind and caring and treat her with love and respect. My mom enjoys the visits, and I am confident that they provide the best care possible.

Thank you, your compassion and professionalism have made a huge difference in all of our lives."

Thank you for your kind words, Linda! We're honored to be a part of your mother's care team.

"My parents are reluctant to accept home care. Now what?"

Resistance to home care is a common issue for seniors, most commonly because they are afraid of losing their independence. Here are a few tips to help them see how home care is a great tool to help them retain their independence:

1. Give it a trial run. Once they meet their caregiver and experience the benefits of an extra set of hands, temporary almost always becomes permanent.
2. Focus on specific services. A caregiver might seem overwhelming, but what about a personal assistant, housekeeper, or chef, instead of a caregiver. Our caregivers provide a variety of services, and these can be a great introduction to caregiving.
3. Meet with our owner. They'll help your parents understand that our company shares their goal of remaining at home, making caregiving feel less threatening.

Contact us today to schedule a free consultation: https://homecareassistancemontgomery.com/contact-us/

Home care doesn't always happen in an 8-5 work day.

That's why Home Care Assistance has resources available 24/7. Whether you have questions about starting care, or you've established care and need help from your care manager, you can always get in touch with our team.

Evenings, holidays, weekends, and everything in between, we'll be there. https://homecareassistancemontgomery.com/hourly-home-care/

Struggling to ensure that your loved one with dementia gets a good night's sleep? Here are 3 tips to help:

1. Establish a clear sleep routine with visual cues, such as color-changing timer lights, and support sleep with sound machines. Use a 24-hour clock with colored sections to indicate sleep and wake times.

2. Keep the pre-diagnosis bedtime routine to enhance comfort and improve sleep. Adapt the routine to match your loved one's current perception of time, whether that's their childhood or another period.

3. Enhance nighttime comfort and security to reduce confusion. Include familiar items like photos, personal objects, reassuring notes, or a treasured book in their space.

At Home Care Assistance, we understand the unique challenges that dementia brings to your loved one's sleep. Contact us today to learn more about how compassionate care from our team can help your loved one.

As your loved one ages, it's common to notice changes in cognitive function. Distinguishing between normal aging and signs of something more serious involves assessing six cognitive domains.

Signs differ from person to person, but normal age-related changes are usually infrequent and minor, while warning signs are more noticeable and impactful. When you observe a change in functioning, consider these three factors:

1. Frequency of changes.
2. Previous baseline or “normal” state.
3. Impact on daily life.

If you have concerns, consult a doctor early for a thorough assessment to rule out other causes. And if you need support, Home Care Assistance offers expertly trained caregivers to support your loved one's needs no matter where they're at.
