In Home Senior and Dementia Care
When it comes to choices for your loved one after a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s, you may feel limited to nursing homes or assisted living facilities. You may fear that such a change might lead your loved one to take a turn for the worse. And in many ways, changing their everyday environment would be a detriment to their overall wellbeing. So, with the option of relocating your newly diagnosed loved one to an assisted living facility being more of a last resort choice, you may ask yourself, what else can you do?
There are a few other reasons to choose in home senior care by Senior Helpers of Riverside to meet your senior care needs. First off, in home senior care is typically less expensive than a life altering move to an assisted living or nursing facility. By remaining at home, friendshiops and social activities do not have to be interrupted. Friends and relatives typically like to visit places they are familiar with and will likely continue to do so while your loved one remains at home. If your loved one owns a pet, they will not have to find a new home for it to receive the senior care they need by staying at home. Studies show that pets can be very therapeutic. Remaining independent at home, your loved one will not have to give up the cherished relationship with their beloved pet.
