New Years and In-Home Care

The end of 2021 is quickly approaching.  It is time to ring in the New Year and to establish some hopeful resolutions.  Perhaps you have an elderly loved one who has recently been hospitalized due to an illness or injury.  Your aging loved one may have been fairly active within their community, as a large portion of this generation of seniors is, and feels stuck in their home.  While studies have shown that a vast majority of seniors would prefer to live out their years in their own homes for as long as possible, your loved one might want to get out and about. 

A common dilemma for the newest generation of on-the-go seniors is they would like to remain active within their social circles and attend local functions.  If your loved one is struggling with a dementia related disease like Alzheimer’s, driving and public transportation can be very dangerous.  If your senior loved one is still recovering from a recent surgery, illness or fall, they would also benefit from some assistance from Senior Helpers of Santa Barbara.  A trusted caregiver is background screened and is a reliable option for your loved one to receive transportation to and from appointments and social events in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Lompoc, Santa Ynez, and Carpinteria, California. 

A reliable caregiver will be available to drive your loved one and also accompany them to doctors, dentists, the gym, mall and other activities.  Your number one concern is the safety of your loved one.  You can rest assured that whether in home or while in familiar communities, that your loved one’s caregiver will make sure that safety is the highest priority.

We all know that New Year’s resolutions are difficult to keep.  Your elderly loved one may find that keeping promises and resolutions can be a greater struggle, especially after a recent illness or fall. A recent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia might also prove to be a new challenge for your loved one and family.  With the help of Senior Helpers of Santa Barbara, it does not have to be such a struggle.  If goals are simplified and mindsets altered, seniors should have no problems with keeping their New Year’s resolutions past January. 

As 2021 draws to a close, it is time to evaluate progress and discover new areas to challenge and improve in 2022.  With a new generation of energetic and active seniors, it is important to understand the value of receiving senior care in home.  Your on-the-move loved one will benefit tremendously by keeping up with social activities and staying in touch with friends within their familiar communities.  If you and your family are deciding on senior care for your loved one, consider giving them the freedom of in-home senior care by Senior Helpers of Santa Barbara.  Not only will your loved one keep their independence, but they will also have privacy and receive individualized one on one care.  Studies have shown that receiving senior care within their beloved home can have dramatic effects on mood, and also improve the quality of life. 

This New Year, give your loved one the opportunity to remain in their own home and stay as active and on the go as they choose.  2022 can be a wonderful year for keeping promises within their community, while still receiving the senior care they require.
