As we mature in age it is only natural that our bodies start to slow down, ache, and medical conditions will begin to creep into our lives that hinder us from living a full and active life. Simple daily activities such as cleaning and cooking become what can seem to be like an insurmountable task. If this is occurring to someone you love, it is time to look into respite care, so they can get the help they need.

Not Everyone’s Activity Level Will Be the Same

The energy level and ability to do physical activities will vary from person to person of course. It depends on many factors, but what is important is that your family member receives the best care they need on a daily basis, care that is tailored to their requirements. Depending on their needs, a quality respite facility should be able to provide the following:

  • Assistance with daily activities which would include things like dressing or bathing, or should they need some sort of help with any type of social activity
  • They should be exposed to exercise, should they wish to participate
  • Laundry should be done for them
  • Housekeeping must be provided as it is important your loved one is happy with the environment that are living in.

You Lead a Busy Life, You Just Don’t Have the Time

Between work and home, your days are filled dealing with customers, employees and your family obligations. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to also tend to an elderly loved one, whose attention demands a lot of time. That is where it is so very beneficial to you to have them provided with the best possible care.

As our loved ones age, their lives become incrementally more lonely. Through death or divorce, many aging parents find themselves alone. Then, the long, slow march of years begins to decimate their list of friends and acquaintances. Some move away. Others simply lose touch. Yet others pass away. The result is that your loved one’s social circle continues to shrink, leading to a very lonely life. It does not have to be that way. Elderly companionship services can help, but you’ll need to choose the right provider. Here are three things to look for when choosing such a company.

List of Activities

One of the first things to consider when comparing elderly companionship services is the range of activities that the caregiver can provide for your loved one. Will the watch TV and have conversations? Will they offer transportation or companionship outside the house? Will they provide assistance with daily living activities, like dressing, bathing, grooming, cleaning the home and the like? Will they help with grocery shopping, or even go shopping on your loved one’s behalf? Will they prepare meals, run errands and remind your loved one about medications?

Vetting

It is very important that you work with a senior care provider that thoroughly vets their companions. Thorough background checks should be the rule. In addition to investigating their backgrounds, the employer should make sure that caregivers are good fits for the role in terms of personality and character. They should be compassionate, outgoing, patient, able to communicate well, and not easily frustrated.

Check References

Trusting someone to care for your loved one, even if on a companionship basis, is a big decision. You need to make certain that you are making an informed decision. Part of that is asking for references for the senior care provider. Then, you need to do your due diligence and actually contact those references. Where they satisfied with the elderly companionship provided? Did their loved one enjoy the experience? Were there any issues that arose during the time? Would they repeat their experience?

It’s never easy to watch as a loved one ages and becomes less and less able to care for themselves. Whether it’s an aging parent, an aging sibling, or another loved one, you want to do your part to help ensure that they are able to enjoy a good quality of life. Of course, being a caregiver can ultimately be draining, leaving little time for your own responsibilities, or even to rest and recover. Respite care services can help. How might you and your loved one benefit?

First, we need to know a bit more about what respite care actually is. Really, the name says it all. This is a service offered by a senior care provider that provides you, the primary caregiver, with a respite from your duties. Whether you need a night off to spend with your own children, a bit of time for a family vacation, or simply need to split the load with someone, these services can help.

How Do You and Your Loved One Benefit?

So, how do you benefit from respite care services? It’s simple – you get the time away from your caregiving responsibilities that you need. Being a primary caregiver for an aging loved one can be draining emotionally and physically. It can be demanding on your time and attention, and can ultimately have negative ramifications for your entire life. A respite, or break, from those responsibilities gives you time to rest, recharge, reconnect with your loved ones, and more.

How might your aging loved one benefit from respite care? Again, there are many ways. One of those is that they are able to benefit from professional care providers during your absence. That means they get the best medical care, quality companion care, and even help around the house with chores and the like, all from a trusted professional. Another is that they are under professional observation, which may be able to detect problems that you did not notice. The provider can then make recommendations for further care and treatment.
