Knowing When to Bring In-home Support into Your Life
At every stage of life, maintaining independence and dignity is a priority for many people. However, there are times when challenges arise that make staying at home more difficult. Whether due to a temporary injury, chronic condition or the aftermath of a serious medical event like a stroke or heart attack, in-home support might be necessary.
There are many factors to consider when deliberating adding in-home support, including:
Safety concerns: If you or a loved one is prone to slipping or falling, struggles with mobility or has a history of risky behavior like medication mix-ups, it's worth considering professional help.
Mobility challenges: Difficulty getting out of bed or walking up and down stairs are other indicators that in-home care may be necessary.
Social isolation: Loneliness and limited social interaction can negatively impact both mental and physical health, increasing the risk of conditions like depression and accelerating dementia.
