At their age and stage, it is going to be quite hard taking care of your elders. They are not as flexible anymore. They cannot see as clearly as they did and are more prone to slips and falls. It is both scary, and immensely frustrating, especially for someone who may have been the ‘life of the party’, or the ‘adventure-seeker’. Aging is a different experience on its own. There are a lot of things gained, and a lot lost as they go on. It has definitely been quite a bumpy ride for your elderly loved ones but, now that they are in retirement, they deserve all the pampering in the world.
Back on to the real business. What is Personal Care for seniors?
This basically means your senior’s daily personal assistance. Everything they would need assistance with on a daily basis. It includes:
- Companionship
- Meal planning
- Bathing assistance
- Exercise
- Hygiene and grooming
- Medication reminders
However, this does not mean that your loved ones are completely handicapped. They are just differently abled, and are not able to move around much. They may need to be on a strict diet. At their age, they just need to keep track with a lot more than they used to, just to make sure that they are able to keep their health intact. One example is the meal planning. You are never really sure what to make for them, or whether or not it really is beneficial for their health. It’s a constant battle, and that should not be the case for both you and your loved one.
It sounds easy. But, there is a lot more to keep up with. Not to mention keeping up with your busy schedule as well. It could be quite hard to juggle your time. You want to make sure that they are able to go to every doctor’s appointment, or take that certain medication at 3 pm on the dot, but you have a lot of things on your mind, and you might forget those things. There are bigger consequences now and this may leave you paranoid.
