How to Know if Loved One Can Age in Place
Signs a Loved One Needs Help at Home
Before deciding if your loved one can remain at home with some personal care help, access the needs of your loved one to figure out if hiring a home caregiver is the right type of care. Seniors, the elderly and family members must look at all options and alternatives, then look at the costs. Knowing what you’re getting into will help make elder care easier.
Ask yourself and your senior loved one if they could benefit from companionship, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping and escorts to appointments? What are the transportation needs? Look at the current location and if it’s accessible to public transit. If the home is in a rural area, or suburbia, how long does it take to retrieve food, medical appointments, and other necessities?
Other things to consider: Does the home require maintenance and remodeling for easier aging in place? Is the family close enough to offer help and support during the day hours and night hours or will the aging relative be left unattended for prolonged periods of time? Will the budget allow hourly or live-in home care?
