When your senior chooses to age in place you may think they will need a lot of things to be successful. However, that is not true. With the right companion care at home services, your senior can thrive with just three simple things.
It’s important to acknowledge what those three things are so your seniors can live a full and engaging life.
They Need a Community and Support System
As seniors age, they need a good support system and community. One of the best things a senior can put in place when they choose to age in place is finding companion care at home to help them around the house. This is a good start to a support system that works. Your senior is going to need multiple professionals, like doctors, therapists, and maybe even physical therapists.
However, on top of having professionals helping them age in the place they will need to find their community. They may want to join a church, senior club, or group therapy where people are going through the same thing. This is one of the best ways to stay social but also for a senior who needs to talk things through with others.
Family will also play a huge role in how strong a support system is and how well they are working in the community. Family is going to help a senior thrive while they age in place even if a senior does have companion care at home. Even if you live at a distance it is crucial to call a senior to check in on them and be a listening ear when they need it the most.
Create an Aging Plan
You may have never heard of an aging plan but it is something that all seniors need to think about and something that should be set in place earlier on, before a senior even considers themselves elderly. This is a plan stating who is going to take care of them, how, and when. This is going to be especially important whether your loved one chooses to age in place with companion care at home or they choose to live in a nursing home.
All seniors need to think about what type of care they want and they will need to discuss this with their family members who provide care as well. If your senior loved one is choosing to age in place with the help of companion care at home, these professionals will still require an aging plan so they know exactly how to help your senior thrive while aging. If your senior loved one needs help thinking about an aging plan, sit down with them and have open discussions.
Focus On a Healthy lifestyle
Seniors may think that it is silly to focus on diet and exercise, but the truth is they should be living as healthily as possible up until the end. This will ensure they are maintaining optimal health for as long as possible and it will help them thrive.
