When you think of at-home care, you may conjure an image of your grandma or perhaps even one of your parents. Most people don’t consider that residential assistance is an option when they are younger unless they are in a predicament where they absolutely have to have help. In this case, the assistance comes in the form of a medically skilled professional that comes to the home, such as in the case of home nursing.
At-home care professionals can offer specific assistance to people of any age and here at Comfort Keepers® of Toronto, ON, we would like to address this gap in understanding that is often present around the industry.
First of all, think about a situation where a younger person may not be able to walk for long periods, whether from an accident, surgical procedure, or something else. No matter the reason, people of any age that have difficulties performing mobility functions independently are likely to face challenges with daily tasks of cleaning or caring for their personal hygiene. While these services may seem apparent for a senior, people can become disabled at any age and they also sometimes have a need for surgery. At-home care professionals give individuals the ability to be independent, without having to move to a respite care facility or without having to be reliant on friends and family.
New mothers are often grateful for helpful options to get things done around their home, to take care of errands, or simply to give an extra hand as they adjust to routines with a new child in the home or because they have a minor health issue, but no partner to support them.
Services provided by a home health worker often differ from client to client. Typical services include mobility assistance, cooking, meal planning, shopping, light housekeeping, and help with bathing or other personal hygiene needs. Ultimately, no matter what age, no one wants to give up their freedoms of independence, and sometimes all that it requires for one to be happy and healthy, while safe at the same time, is a little bit of help!
