Contact Inspired CareAn in-home caregiver is a professional who provides various types of assistance and support to individuals in their own homes. These services are designed to help those who may have difficulty managing daily tasks due to age, illness, disability, or recovery from surgery.
Whether you’re considering care for yourself or a loved one, an in-home caregiver will provide support for daily living. What exactly a caregiver does is as varied as the clients they serve.
Contact Inspired CarePersonal care for seniors can include bathing, toileting, dressing, and feeding. It can help seniors remain at home and experience an enhanced quality of life that might not be possible elsewhere.
A few hours of personal assistance in the morning can help a senior get ready to take on the day. Similarly, a few hours of help in the evening could help a senior prepare for a restful night. When seniors have personal care assistance, their chance of falls is greatly reduced.
Unlike other types of care, personal care does not need to be prescribed by a doctor. A caregiver from Inspired Care Solutions can be scheduled for as little as 4 hours a day.
A caregiver may be the first to notice a medication side effect. They are trained to report observations and concerns to family members or to their supervisor.
It’s not unusual for older adults to lose interest, energy, or the focus required to prepare meals for themselves. Their nutrition can suffer as a result. Caregivers can prepare meals for a variety of dietary needs. Your caregiver can plan menus, grocery shop, and cook.
Caregivers are trained to help their clients with mobility in their homes. Getting in and out of bed, a chair or a wheelchair, walking to the bathroom, or repositioning while sitting or lying down, all fall within the realm of a caregiver’s duties.
Making life easier is among the many things caregivers do for clients. Household chores that once were done with ease and speed become increasingly challenging as people age. Hiring a caregiver to assist with tidying the home, changing bedsheets, or running to the store are often overlooked but can make a big difference in the daily lives of older adults.
Research shows there are several health risks associated with loneliness and social isolation. The CDC has found that many adults aged 50 and older who are lonely or socially isolated face an increase in mental and physical health consequences.
Companionship and emotional support can be the reasons a caregiver is hired or they can be the wonderful byproduct of having a caregiver in your home. The presence of a caregiver provides the opportunity for social engagement that individuals or couples may not have otherwise. Conversation, playing a game, working on a puzzle, watching a movie, partaking in hobbies, or going on outings are some of the ways a caregiver provides companionship. What a caregiver does often goes beyond the daily tasks of household chores; caregivers can be the spark of joy that can be missing in their clients’ lives.
Respite care provides a break from caregiving duties for an informal caregiver. That could mean a trained caregiver provides care as needed for few hours a day, a weekend, or several consecutive days. Fatigue, burnout, and stress often accompany the journey of an informal caregiver as they balance the commitments of jobs and families. Respite care gives family members or friends time to themselves to run errands, exercise, or, say yes to a family vacation–anything that recharges their battery.
We want people to know the importance of caring for the caregiver. A 2020 study by the AARP found that an estimated 53 million people in the United States had served as informal caregivers within a 12-month period. While caring for a loved one can be rewarding, it doesn’t come without sacrifice. How can a care agency, such as Inspired Care Solutions, help? With respite care.
Respite CareYou’ve decided a caregiver is needed. How do you determine what exactly your caregiver will do for you? Learning about Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) is a great way to begin formulating ideas on what services a caregiver can provide for you. You may want to sit down with a care coordinator to help you uncover needs and prioritize them into a comprehensive care plan.
