Our elderly care services help seniors stay in their homes while getting the support and care they need.
These days, individuals are living longer than ever before. Not only that, but many are choosing to stay in their homes, which is where the need for compassionate elderly care comes in. In the Shreveport, Louisiana area, our team at St. Matthew’s Direct Care Services can assist with elderly care, providing you or a loved one with the support you need to feel comfortable and safe.
Our elderly care services are designed to help older persons keep their independence, dignity, and quality of life, all while remaining in their homes. One of the most important components of elderly care is assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include things like bathing, clothing, grooming, toileting, eating, and mobility. As people age, physical or cognitive limitations can make these daily tasks more difficult. However, the personalized care we offer ensures these tasks are completed, as well as lowers the chance of injury and enhances general well-being.
Companionship is another important aspect of elderly care. Loneliness and social isolation are typical among elderly people, particularly those who live alone or have few social connections. Regular contact with a member of our team can offer emotional support, cognitive stimulation, and a sense of belonging.
Finally, in-home personal assistance can offer medicine reminders, handle light housework, complete meal preparation, provide transportation, and other tasks. This not only fosters independence, but it also gives family members peace of mind knowing their loved one is receiving attentive, compassionate care.
