Non-Medical In-Home Companions Make Sense for Seniors

March 25, 2015 by Robert D'Arienzo

Home Care in Scotch Plains NJ

It is no mystery that most seniors prefer home care in comparison to moving to a nursing or assisted living facility. Home Care in Scotch Plains NJIn addition to being more cost-effective, there are a number of additional benefits to choosing professional caregivers to come to the home and perform daily tasks, help with personal care, and provide companionship. More and more families are meeting together to discuss the pros and cons of in-home care. Hiring in-home care providers makes sense for seniors for many reasons.  Some of those reasons are outlined below:

#1: Assist with Everyday Needs

When loved ones are living alone, they may need someone to assist then with their everyday needs. Such activities include dressing, housekeeping, personal care, and showering. Non-medical home care is chosen primarily for the assistance of general household needs, as well as personal care. They are able to achieve this goal while still living comfortably in their own familiar environment.

#2: Shopping and Meal Preparation

Family members do not receive the proper nutrition if they’re not able to get out to do their own shopping, or prepare their own healthy meals. Therefore, senior care services take away these burdens by bringing in a caregiver on a daily basis to adequately meet these needs. Nutritious meals are prepared in an environment that is not only safe, but is also familiar and comfortable.

#3: Medication Administration

It can be alarming and unhealthy when loved ones forget to take their medications, and a senior care professional will ensure this doesn’t occur. In addition to that, they’ll also ensure that your loved one is taking his or her medication(s) as prescribed.

#4: Companionship

When seniors lose their spouses, they could become depressed and long for companionship. When they are provided with the opportunity for companionship with their caregivers, loved ones are able to participate in many activities. It’s possible for them to foster lasting and quality relationships with their caregivers.

 

Because managing responsibilities can become overwhelming for aging loved ones, elderly care could become a reality sooner than later. In addition to focusing on the daily needs including running errands, light yardwork, some housekeeping, meal preparation, and transportation, family members can rest assured that medications are taken as prescribed. Caregivers are trained to ensure that all safety precautions are met with regards to trips and falls, as well as ensuring there are effective measures taking place in the home with regards to railings, clutter, or other obstructions in the home.

Owner at Helping Hands Home Care
Robert D’Arienzo
After graduating from Seton Hall University with a BS in finance Helping Hands Homecare’s Owner / President, Robert D’Arienzo, went to work on Wall St. for six years. However, after Robert’s grandmother became ill with stomach cancer Robert and his family needed to find assistance in the home for her. After many trials and tribulations Robert could see that there was a great need for quality home care services here in NJ and loved the idea of being able to assist other families who were going through what his family went through with his beloved grandmother.

Thus, Robert had found his passion. After almost a year of preparation Robert opened Helping Hands Homecare in 2003. Robert wanted Helping Hands Homecare to focus on providing the highest quality of caregivers, exceptional customer service, and providing a service that familys could depend on in their time of need. Since then Helping Hands has assisted hundreds of individuals with the simplest of needs to more complex cases while preserving those standards set out many years ago.
