Your loved one may want to age in place. For many senior citizens, this is their desire because they want to maintain their independence and because they don’t want to leave the home they have lived in for many years.
At St. Matthew’s Direct Care Services, we provide home health care solutions that help seniors age safely in place while maintaining their independence and living in the home they want to stay in. Here are some of our tips for helping your loved one live safely in their home:
- Make fall prevention a priority. Make sure all hallways are free from clutter, secure loose rugs, and ensure rooms are well-lit to prevent falls. You should also install grip bars in bathrooms and make sure all furniture can easily be gotten out of.
- Encourage your loved one to engage in healthy routines. Help them prepare meals that are healthy and nutritious and encourage them to stay as active as they can to maintain their mobility.
- Invest in coordinated care, including home health care provided by our team. Make sure your loved one is making it to all their medical appointments and turn to us to provide the extra help and support your loved one needs to continue living at home.
If you have a loved one who wants to age in place safely, our home health care solutions can become a helpful part of the equation. For more information about our home health care services, reach out to us today.
