As your loved ones in need gain age, they may lose interest in food. Mealtime without a family is usually lonely. If your parent has a reduced sense of taste or smell, food may seem less appetizing. Medications can take a toll on appetite too. For aging parents with physical or mental impairments, difficulties with grocery shopping and preparing meals may be obstacles to good nutrition. Even when seniors do eat well, they may not fully absorb all their nutrients.
Being away from home and family is particularly stressful for clients, but it can also be difficult for their family members who are not beside their beds. Our caregivers can plan and arrange a hospital visit, help you with packing, arrange transportation, and make sure your house is safe during your absence. Our home care aides/caregivers can be perfect companions while your loved ones are staying in the hospital. Once you are settled in, your personal caregiver can stay by your side as much as you need - even 24 hours a day.
