Arranging Home Health Care for Your Senior Relative

Do you have a senior relative, such as your mother or father, who is having a hard time lately? You may have recently noticed that your relative cannot stand up for long periods, is having trouble navigating the stairs with ease, and/or is showing signs of difficulty preparing a meal. As we age some of our daily activities can become more laborious to complete. Those tasks that were once simple and manageable tend to become rather difficult and nearly impossible. When you have an elderly loved one who needs more personal care than you can provide, you may want to consider looking for ways to ensure that they receive the best quality of care when you are unavailable. Should you discover them needing more assistance with their daily activities of living, there are basically two options family members often choose from when deciding how to help and protect their aging relative. These two options include moving your elderly loved one into a nursing facility or hiring a home health aide to assist at your loved one’s residence.

In-home Nursing Care Is The Right Choice

If you are looking for the best option for your loved one, in-home nursing care is the right choice for several reasons. There is no need to downsize, no need to disrupt your relative’s daily routine and no need for the anxiety caused by being uprooted from the comfort of their own home. At A-1 Action Nursing Care, we have been helping families age in place since 1978 by providing home health services to clients who would prefer to live at home while getting as much help as they need. Our trained, courteous, and skilled nursing staff travels to the homes of our clients throughout the Washington Metropolitan area. Therefore, there is no need for your elderly family member to give up their independence as we can assist in helping them go about their life, aging right in their own space.

Get the Extra Help you Need

One of the primary reasons that we believe our home care services are the best choice for families looking to get extra help for their loved ones is because we come to them in the comfort of their own homes. Most people typically prefer to remain at home, familiar with their own surroundings. It is very consoling to have your own belongings and know where everything is situated. Some loved ones may not want to leave the home due to dealing with illness, injury, or dementia. It only stands to reason that when we don’t feel good that there is nothing like the comfort of our own bed. Being in a familiar environment is simply more comfortable and peaceful. We understand that a transition to a facility can be very stressful and remaining at home with home health care can be a less trying progression to receiving care.

When you contact A-1 Action Nursing Care, our family owned agency will do our best to help ease your frustrations and concerns by arranging home care assistance to fill the care needs that your loved one is missing.
