Your family may be considering the option of in-home care for your loved one. This is a decision that should not be made lightly and may leave you with many questions during the process. What exactly can I expect with in-home care? How will it benefit my loved one? Serving the Atlanta area, including Alpharetta, our specialists have provided some insights on what to anticipate about in-home care.
The Basics
The BasicsActivities of everyday living, otherwise known as ADLs, are basic functions that each of us does on a daily basis. This may include simple tasks such as getting dressed, maintaining personal hygiene, eating and mobility assistance.
If your loved one is struggling with performing their ADLs, you may have found yourself acting as a caregiver and helping out as needed. In-home care professionals will provide compassionate and thorough caregiver services. They will ensure your loved one is taking care of these tasks by prompting or cueing them, providing assistance or possibly doing certain tasks for them. Depending on the specifics of your situation, this may include essential tasks such as medication reminders, toileting, personal hygiene care and preparing meals, among other tasks.
Assistance with ADLs will make life a little easier and ensure your loved one is comfortable and well.
Specific Care
Everyone has different needs. There are a few common areas of in-home care that are valuable depending on the needs of your loved one. These include:
- Memory Care
- Private Duty Skilled Nursing
- Post-Op Care
The functions of these services range from assisting someone who suffers from a memory-related condition, such as dementia, to providing care for someone after a major surgery. They can receive the care they need while remaining in the comfort, safety and familiarity of their home.
Assistance for the Family
Assistance for the FamilyIn-home care services directly help the individual, but there are ways in which it is beneficial to their family and close friends as well. For instance, if one or multiple family members or friends have been acting as an interim caregiver, in-home caregivers will take over those responsibilities. This will save time and avoid family caregiver burnout. This will also allow you to resume a family relationship with your loved one rather than the caregiver relationship. In-home care provides families with the peace of mind that their loved one’s personal care needs are being met.
