Is the Live-in Right For You? The following list of questions is to help evaluate whether or not the Live-in care option is right for you or your loved one.
1. Are you unsteady on your feet or have a fear of falling?
Our balance as we age can falter and the fear of falling can be quite catastrophic. Our bones become more brittle and the risk of fractures increase dramatically. We become more vulnerable to falls as we age because the semicircular canals in our ears are filled with thick viscous fluid with tiny stones floating about causing a loss of balance. When you turn, these stones slowly move, and nerves in your ears sense this action. However, if the stones have become osteoporotic or the nerve impulses are erratic, the brain cannot rapidly process these clues to movement, and you feel dizzy. The live-in care provides 24-hour peace of mind with a caregiver present to eliminate many of these accidents that may occur.
2. Do you have a fear of being alone?
No one should experience that empty feeling of loneliness. The compassionate heart of a Preferred Care at Home caregiver is an ever present comfort to everyone.
3. Are you bed bound?
Those that have physical limitations or even confined to a bed are those most in need of 24-hour supervision. The professional assistance of our caregivers provide affordable support around a customized care-plan surrounding your specific needs.
4. Do you have Alzheimer’s Disease or memory loss?
Memory deficiencies may creep in as we age. Specifically, every 70 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. The Alzheimer client is best in an environment that is familiar to them. Most need extended hours of care in order to maintain a healthy and safe option for care. Our 24-hour Peace of Mind care-plan accomplishes this safely and affordably while maintaining that much needed continuity of care.
5. Do you need an affordable alternative to costly 24-hour care?
Long-term care can be costly. However, since 1984 the founders of Preferred Care at Home have built a reputation of offering quality services at affordable prices. These services may be as low as $8.00 per hour and in some cases at no cost to the client. Contact your local Preferred Care at Home office to see which package works best for you.
6. Is having continuity of care important to you?
Change can be difficult for many people. Continuity of care is at the heart of what we provide in the home. As long as you are happy and well cared for, you will have the same caregiver by your side every step of the way. Relationships are established with consistency and quality interaction by perfectly matched caregivers who are reliable and compassionate.
7. Are you considering moving to an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Facility?
For many, their home is everything. Their surroundings are an ever present reminder of the happy times of their past. We can customize a care plan so that we truly can help you enjoy and celebrate life treating you with dignity in the privacy and independence that home provides.
8. Is remaining in your home important to you?
You are the boss. If home is where you want to live, we can make it a reality. If you prefer to move into a facility, we can also supplement whatever extra assistance you may need. In essence, we come along side of you and provide that extra care you need so that home, or wherever you call home, is that safe place.
9. Do you occasionally forget to take your medicine?
“Did you take your medicine today?” Have you ever asked that question to a loved one or have ever been asked that question way too many times? The truth of the matter is that we can make that much need process simple. Our quality caregivers are there to make sure that you are reminded to take the medication that your physician has prescribed.
10. Is quality interaction or companionship important to you?
Our 24-hour peace of mind program is designed to engage and provide quality interaction by matching personalities that fit with your personal and work experience. We understand that asking for help is not easy and loosing independence is a fear of many. It is our commitment to be there by your side every step of the way. You have much to share with others.
