Remember the times when your parents/grandparents assisted you in every little thing that you did – be it trying to walk, run, play, study etc. They always stood there by our side, assisting us in every step we took and lending their support wherever necessary.
But with time we observe changes in our elders – not just physical, but emotional and cognitive as well. Life compels us to do role reversal – us acting like our loved ones’ parents. And this is something that every child willingly does and is more than happy to take care of their elderly parents.
However, sometimes due to their professional commitments they have to move to another city or country. As a result, their parents are left alone in their hometown with no one to look after them.
We know you feel absolutely helpless, right? You want to make sure that your parents are provided the best care even when you are not there. You want to ensure that their health and safety are taken care of in your absence. While physical distance might restrict you from personally taking care of them, but when stuck in such a situation, the best option is to subscribe to home care services for your elderly parents/grandparents.
Wondering what home care services are? Read below to understand its basic definition:
While you are away from your parents, home care services can assist your loved ones in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, cooking etc. and help them manage their daily chores.
These are professional support services that enable your elderly parent/grandparent to live independently and safely in the comfort of their home.
Home care services also include therapy and rehabilitative services and care for a disease or an illness and are provided by trained and verified nurses, attendants, therapists etc.
There are various kinds of home care services. Let’s discuss two kinds in this article:
