Home Care Services When Living Alone

Even parents or loved ones living alone can find it challenging to manage a home while taking care of themselves, especially if they just lost a spouse or partner that shared the workload. A lack of socialization and skipping important tasks to take care of oneself is a big concern. Almost all seniors prefer to live at home, but this presents challenges for loved ones on how to best help them stay safe and comfortable.

Common Challenges When Living Alone

Pride or fear of losing one's independence often leads to a loved one not asking for help and assistance with tasks they once could do but are no longer easy to do. Without family members living in the home, they remain unaware of the real situation. If you suspect a loved one needs a little help your gut is most likely correct.

The good news is In-Home Care Services can start off small with only a few hours a week to take care of common but tedious tasks called Instrumental Activities of Daily Living or IADLs. As one gets older it is common they will also need help with Activities of Daily Living or ADLs.
