Peace of mind visits are in-home visits that are performed on a regular basis to assess your elderly loved one’s needs.

We are discovering that there are many benefits of seniors living at home, and when necessary, professional in home help can help with the daily chores to make life easier on your loved one. The benefit of seniors living at home is that everything is still readily accessible. There have been studies that have shown a decline in overall health both emotionally and physically due to a life altering move to a nursing home or assisted living facility. A move to a facility can be very confusing and unsettling, which can lead to feelings of depression and loneliness. With professional in home help, a senior is able to remain in the comforts of home while receiving the additional support they may need after hospitalization due to illness or surgery. Sometimes it’s helpful to just have an extra hand to help around the house and keep up with chores like laundry, grocery shopping and housekeeping.
Not only is living at home the most preferred option among seniors, it is also the most beneficial. With a little extra help, even a regular family caregiver can focus on visiting with their family a bit more instead of attending to loose ends around the house. Seniors living at home are able to maintain their old lifestyle. If a regular game of cards or shuffle board with friends is on the calendar, it can remain there. If your senior loved one enjoys shopping during the week, a caregiver can provide the transportation to add reassurance of safety. Professional in home help allows an older adult to remain in the comforts of home and improves the overall quality of life. Knowing that help is readily available can bring peace of mind to families who might not live nearby in cases of emergency.
