In Home Senior Care
As seniors age, simple activities such as bathing and dressing become challenging. The limitation results from the physical and cognitive decline associated with aging. It can also be a result of chronic illnesses like Alzheimer's.
​
At such a time, loved ones need quality senior care services to live their best lives. Read on as we at Monef Health Service, Inc. discuss the in-home senior care services we provide for Miami-Dade residents.
What is Senior In-Home Care?
In-home senior care services provide vital care for elderly citizens support in the comfort of their homes. The assistance may be personal care, medication, and companionship. It is often provided by qualified caregivers and, at times, nurses.
Unlike nursing homes, in-home senior care gives more comfort, security, and independence. This is because the seniors will spend their old age in a familiar environment, close to their family.
The caregivers provide service on a set schedule. It can be daily, weekly, or as needed.
Senior In-Home Care Services
The home senior care service has one goal; helping elderly loved ones live comfortably. They receive help with bathing, laundry, dressing, and housework. The seniors under care can receive either of the following support services:
Companion Care
Companion care is one of the services that in-home senior caregivers offer. In this care service, a qualified caregiver spends time with seniors. The companionship prevents loneliness and reduces the risk of depression and cognitive decline. Besides spending time with the senior, a caregiver can also provide additional services like:
-
Preparation of meals
-
Participation in social events
-
Playing sports
-
Running light errands
-
Managing medications
Personal Care
Personal care is the most common service that home care workers provide. They help seniors with daily activities like personal hygiene, toileting, and medication management.
The caregivers can offer personal care support daily, weekly, or as needed.
Respite Care
The in-home respite care relieves primary caregivers of their duties for some time. As insignificant as the service may sound, respite care is incredibly beneficial. It gives the primary caregivers a break to recharge and avoid burnout.
In-Home Skilled Nursing Care
With in-home nursing care, a trained nurse assists with services requiring a high skill level. This in-home skilled nursing care service benefits seniors with chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart problems.
​
The trained nurses assist with care services like:
-
Wound care
-
Hospice care
-
Nursing case management
-
Enteral nutrition
-
Oxygen therapy
-
Catheter management
-
Colostomy care
-
Tube feeding
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy uses exercises, stretches, and other techniques to improve functionality. The therapy is helpful for seniors recovering from an injury or a major surgery. Moreover, physiotherapy is suitable for seniors living with limiting results of conditions like strokes.
