Firstat Nursing Services, a Del Mar Home Caregiver Agency supports seniors by publishing “Tips for Communicating with Senior Loved Ones.”

Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services says, “Talking and listening to senior members of the family allows them to feel connected. It also helps validate their feelings, concerns and ideas.”

Here are three ways to create more effective communication with senior loved ones in the family.

Ask Questions to Learn More About Elderly Loved Ones – People are often amazed about the kinds of information that seniors share with their Del Mar Caregivers. Too often, young children, and even adult children of senior citizens, forget that the elderly people in their lives were once young, active and vital. 

Seniors had lives and experiences that younger members of the family may have only read about. Talking to a home health provider who is engaged with seniors on a daily basis can add extra insight as to what the elderly member of the family likes to talk about and what they don’t. 

Get Added Help to Keep Seniors Mentally Active - Having a health care provider bridge the gap between distant relatives or family members can help the senior remain mentally and socially active. A health care provider has the skills to understand what elderly clients have lived through. They can also help the senior get out and talk with community members, friends and local relatives in a safe and peaceful environment.

Be Patient with Senior Loved Ones – Old age does not mean elderly loved ones in the family do not have much to offer. It is often the case that it may take them a little longer to express what they have to say. Empathize with them, and take a moment to consider how physical limitations may make it more difficult to participate. 

Don’t leave elderly family members out of family activities whenever possible. Including them as part of a team is a big part of healthy communication, and making them feel like they are valuable members of the family. When family members are uncertain about how a senior will be able to handle certain gatherings or conversations, it can be helpful to speak with their health care nurse. Speaking with a professional caregiver can provide insight into how they might handle situations or get-togethers.

Attending to an aging or sick loved one can be rewarding. But with medical responsibilities, being a family caregiver can be stressful, tiresome and complicated.

Here’s how to support a family caregiver with the help and expertise they deserve through a professional in home care agency.

Promote Better Quality of Life
A visiting nurse can chaperone a loved one to an event or provide transportation to and from events. Having a professional on hand takes pressure off family and ensures loved ones receive age appropriate socialization.

Reduce Medical Risks With Skilled Experts on Hand
Family members often cannot provide the level of expertise of a skilled nurse. With years of experience and hands-on training, an in home professional provides top of the line care, reducing risk of medical issues from mishandling or error.

Provide a Much Needed Break
Even the most dedicated family members need a break, and a skilled professional can provide it. A few hours here or there is enough to give caregivers the chance to reenergize and rejuvenate a tired body and mind.

Few seniors are willing to move to an assisted living facility when staying at home becomes challenging and this can cause stress for family members. Luckily, at home care is a convenient solution, giving aging loved ones the help they need to thrive on their own.

Here’s how professional in home care promotes safe independence.

Medical Expertise at Home
Most seniors rely on a variety of medications to stay healthy and strong. With a skilled nurse on call, loved ones have peace of mind that mom or dad will take their medication as directed – the right dose at the right time – and with an experienced hand to help.

Housekeeping, Errands and Meal Prep
The right professional in home care agency offers more than medical assistance, but can also help with a variety of domestic duties. Vacuuming, laundry and meal prep is a help to busy children looking to ensure a parent has what they need.

Transportation to and From Appointments
With regular doctor’s appointments and other commitments, seniors need safe, reliable transportation – something family can’t always provide. At home care is a smart, practical way to make sure appointments are kept and loved ones have a safe ride.

Aging parents often become attached to their independence, leaving worried family members wondering what to do. Luckily, an in home caregiver can ensure mom or dad stays safe and happy when you can’t be there. Here are three benefits of using in home care for a senior parent.

Ensure Medical Care Is Administered Properly Hiring an in home caregiver to administer important medication or oversee an aging parent is smart. A helping hand provides instant confidence that your loved one receives the right medication at the right time.

Assistance with Housekeeping and Meal Preparation Professional in home care offers a wide range of services, including light housekeeping, meal preparation and even grocery shopping. Take the pressure off an aging parent and give them the freedom to relax at home.

Safe Companionship Aging parents who choose to live at home can get lonely, and having a friend stop by is a treat. Caregivers can play cards, read and even watch television, offering safe companionship and fun from the safety and privacy of home.

In home care is nothing new. But one thing we didn’t know was how it effective it is at promoting health and wellness.

Here are 3 ways that in-home care can help improve happiness and health in loved ones.

Happiness and Well Being - Health care practitioners who visit the home provide assistance for seniors to engage in activities they enjoy. Taking a walk in the neighborhood, meeting friends and running errands helps seniors stay independent and happy.

Faster, More Efficient Recovery Time - Seniors recovering from surgery or illness tend to heal faster when surrounded by the comfort of home. Rather than recover in a hospital or medical facility, an in home caregiver provides the best medical treatment available.

Reduced Stress, Anxiety - Having a skilled caregiver ready to help out can ease stress and anxiety. Help with housework and preparing meals ensures your loved one makes competent decisions with the aid of a compassionate, friendly and fully trained professional.

When a loved one needs help, families often confront difficult decisions regarding care. Home health care is one solution. Here are a few reasons why skilled in home health care is a practical alternative to facility care.

One on One Focus and Support - With compassionate, personal care, in home caregivers often build strong bonds with their patients. Parents and family members get peace of mind and confidence that a loved one is getting the attention and respect they deserve.

A Cost Effective Solution - Family members are often surprised to learn that the average cost of home care is less than care in a skilled nursing facility. And, with comparable and even better outcomes, the personal, compassionate care provided by an in home nurse is invaluable.

Encouraging Safe Independence - No one wants to restrict independence from loved ones, but safety and security take priority. Hiring a qualified home care service to visit a few days a week is a smart way to ensure safety when family can’t be there to help. Firstat Nursing Services has been providing a higher standard of home nursing, home health and home care services for elderly, disabled and injured people in the greater San Diego area since 1997.
