Read on to learn about some of your available options for senior care.

In-Home Senior Care

Many seniors would prefer to stay at home. Unfortunately, their loved ones may not be able to provide them with the care they need. In these situations, senior individuals may need to turn to an in home nurse or aide.

Here are some of the services that a home health nurse or aide can provide.

Personal Care Aide

In many cases, seniors will only need an aide to help them with daily tasks. They may be unable to or struggle with doing these tasks themselves due to mobility issues. Aides can help seniors with the following tasks:

  • Laundry
  • Grocery shopping
  • Feeding and meal preparation
  • Light housekeeping
  • Changing linens
  • Pet care

Home Medical Care

Seniors who struggle with certain medical issues may need constant senior nursing care. An at home nurse can help seniors with tasks such as the following:

  • Injections
  • IV therapy
  • Wound care
  • Catheter care
  • Gastric feedings
  • Medication set-up
  • Medical assessments
  • Diabetes care and teaching

Luckily there are plenty of companies that offer in home senior medical care. You can find home health care here.

Home Health Therapy

At home senior medical care can also include medical therapies. Older adults may need help with the mental and physical changes they experience as they age. Occupational, physical, and speech at-home therapies can help them adjust to these changes.

Assisted Living Centers

For seniors who can’t or don’t want to stay at home, assisted living centers are a great option. They can give seniors the care they need and also help them socialize with other seniors. Here are some options for this senior care type:

Independent Living

An independent living facility is like an apartment building with an age limit. Seniors that live here usually have the same amenities they’d get at an apartment building. However, seniors in independent living facilities get some services taken care of for them.

The services offered include:

  • House maintenance
  • Meal preparation
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry

Skilled Nursing Facility

Skilled nursing facilities help seniors who need a bit more help with their health needs. Residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible. However, many have health conditions that make it difficult for them to care for themselves.

The staff at skilled nursing facilities can provide much of what an at home nurse can provide. The difference is that these services are done in a safe environment.
