What Every Senior in Vancouver, BC Needs to Know About In-Home Care During the Winter Season

Professional Senior Care | Summer is filled with sunny days and warm weather, apart from extreme heat, there is very little concern for the conditions surrounding the season. Winter brings about a completely different set of concerns for seniors. The weather can be harsh and conditions can be unbearable for everyone.

Professional senior and elderly care during the winter brings a sense of comfort to seniors and their loved ones. When friends and family must resume their daily lives, their schedules may not permit them to check in on their elderly loved one as often as they would like. There are several ways to ensure that your senior is cared for and safe during the winter, but the assistance of a professional caregiver is the best way.

The Perks of Professional Senior Care

• Daily Check-Ins – winter weather can be cold and often causes the senior to want to sleep a little later than usual. Professional caregivers can visit the home to ensure seniors are comfortable and well. Caregivers will check that things such as the home’s temperature, or the bed covers are on the bed and that all heating mechanisms are functioning properly.
• Warm meals– it is not always easy for family members to get meals to their elderly family members. Arranging for meal programs or in-home preparation is an important part of quality elderly care. This service alleviates the concern that families or seniors may have about acquiring healthy and delicious meals each day.
• Compassion and Kindness – because winter can be treacherous, it is not always convenient or advisable for the elderly to get out. This means they will spend a large amount of time indoors. Professional elderly care provides compassion and kindness to seniors by spending time with them indoors doing things they enjoy. Crafting, reading, board games, baking or simply engaging in conversation. This helps seniors engage and avoid boredom and loneliness, which could lead to long bouts of depression.
