"My mother just needs a little help at home" the caller says. The conversation continues as the caller explains that her mother does not want to leave her home but needs help with everyday tasks. Perhaps her mother has fallen recently or has just come home from the hospital. How do you know when it is time to find a home heath caregiver or companion to provide some personal assistance, or a "little help" for your loved one?
Safety is a constant concern and is a major factor in determining if a loved one can remain at home. Falls, mismanagement of medications and memory deficits play important roles in home safety.
After a fall a senior adult may experience a decline in their health and become fearful that they will fall again. The fear of falling may cause the senior adult to become less mobile which leads to decreasing strength and endurance.
Managing multiple medications is often confusing. Taking the correct medication and dosage at the right time or discontinuing one medication to start another creates the perfect storm. Mismanagement of medication is often the reason for a hospitalization.
Short term memory loss or dementia may rob a loved one of their independence. When memory loss occurs a caregiver can provide personal assistance to a senior adult to remain safe at home. C&S Healthcare Services sends competent, caring Houston home health care staff that will provide that "little help at home."
