In-home senior care provides another level of attention that includes close companionship as caregivers meet emotional and physical needs. If you’re just getting started with in-home senior care, here are a few things to keep in mind: 

Be open and honest in your communication. It may feel awkward when you’re first communicating with a caregiver. They may seem like strangers in your home, but it’s essential to keep open communication about your feelings and needs. An ongoing conversation about your treatment choices and desires will deepen the relationship with your caregiver and ensure you get the care you deserve.

Ask questions to learn more about your individualized care. This will keep you informed and able to express concerns early. 

Let your caregiver know about your favorite things and activities. They want you to share them and incorporate them into your daily routine.

Set up an area in your home that is conducive to caregiving but where you’re surrounded by familiar and comfortable items. In-home senior care aims to provide medical care in a familiar environment. This space can help you thrive and feel independent as you receive treatment.
