How Do Home Care Agencies Help Seniors?

October 20, 2021

Many seniors want to keep living at home during their retirement years. Often, you or your loved one may not wish to move into an assisted living facility. Is aging at home possible if you or your loved one needs support with daily living or has health issues? The short answer is yes, it is possible. Home care agencies can help you or your loved one age in place safely and for as long as possible.

What are home care agencies?

Home care and home health agencies stand ready to serve the senior community in the privacy and comfort of their homes. These agencies offer a range of services, from non-skilled at-home care to skilled medical help.

Agencies offering Home Care help people with their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Independent Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These include assistance with:

Personal hygiene such as bathing and grooming.
Dressing
Toileting
Transferring or ambulating
Food prep and eating
Transportation and errands
Companionship
Exercise

Why should you work with one?

If you or your loved one would like to remain at home instead of moving to an assisted living facility, you may consider working with a home care agency. Home care provided by a home care agency can help you or your loved one live safely and comfortably at home.

Your physician can provide guidance and help you develop a plan so you know what services you or your loved one may need. Once you have that in place, you can begin looking at home care options to see which one is the right fit. Philia Care is focused on compassionate and comprehensive home care.
