Reno Senior Care: 10 Reasons It’s Time

When to Make the Move to Home Care

1. Loss of mobility. While we are growing older, it is best to keep moving on our own. But if getting around is extremely difficult without a walking aid and falls are inevitable, it may be time for a move to home care.

2. A consistent need for special medical equipment or devices. If daily tasks such as eating, bathing or getting around require using heavy equipment or specialized devices, a home care facility can provide this equipment and the necessary amount of trained staff to assure the safe and proper use of medical equipment.

3. Extreme forgetfulness. If it is no longer safe to assume all the burners on the stove are going to be turned off after use, it is time for our loved one to be in a place where he or she won’t need to be responsible for cooking. A home care facility is that place.

4. Confusion. Different situations arise that may be a threat to your loved one or put others at risk. Can he or she properly assess risks and call 911 in case of emergency? Does he or she know their physical address and phone number? If not, moving to a home care facility should be considered.

5. Personal hygiene. A loved one who cannot take care of his own brushing hair, shaving, brushing of teeth, or changing of clothes from day to day, should consider moving to a home care facility. The staff can help him maintain his dignity.

6. Dependence. If the housekeeping, meal preparation, along with personal care is too much for your loved one, it may be time to move to a home care facility. There are ways to bring these services to your loved one, but sometimes a home care facility is an overall better route.

7. You feel worn out. If you are assisting your loved one and feel it is too much for one person, it is time to call a home care facility and allow them to lift the burden so that you can focus on loving your family member and taking care of yourself.

8. Finances. It may be more cost-effective to move into a home care facility if the necessary services are adding up.

9. Distance. If you cannot relocate to be closer and there is no other relative near to help your loved one, it’s time to consider home care. He or she will gain the advantage of not living in isolation, while having access to needed socialization with caregivers and other residents.

10. Desire. If your parent or grandparent has been talking about making a move into an assisted living arrangement with home care, it’s time to explore that option.
