To many seniors, in-home care sounds frightening. Why would a seemingly capable person need help from a stranger? Your loved one may feel intimidated or stressed, but Granny NANNIES is here to make sure the transition to in-home care goes smoothly for your loved one.
In-home care is exactly what it sounds like—your loved one being cared for in the comfort of their own home. This is an excellent option because living in a familiar place means less stress due to environmental change. It also means increased feelings of safety where your loved one knows his or her surroundings. When researching in-home caregivers, do thorough research to avoid fraud or abuse. By choosing Granny NANNIES, you can be assured that the referred caregivers are Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) or registered Home Health Aides (HHAs) who have passed rigorous background checks.
Eighty percent of elderly people have chronic health conditions or illnesses that require personalized care and support. With Granny NANNIES, your loved one will receive 24-hour care, 7 days a week. CNAs and HHAs work in 12-hour shifts to make sure their patients have whatever they need, whenever they need it. This includes services such as:
- Bathing or other hygiene needs for your loved one
- Recreational activities to stimulate cognitive processes
- Preparing and cooking meals so your loved one can rest
- Medication reminders
- Transportation to doctors appointments
- Emotional support during stressful moments
By working closely with your loved one, the CNAs and HHAs will gain the trust needed for a support system to grow. It’s not uncommon for friendships to blossom between caregiver and patient. To facilitate that system, a few things are necessary. Make sure the CNA or HHA and your loved one are on the same page regarding what’s expected of them, including daily schedules and what services will be provided.
