Coincidence Or A Trend? | Elder Care Home Health Blog

?

Readers of?Our Blog Know We are very Committed to PLANNING Ahead When it Comes to Adult Sons And Daughters With Parents 75 Years Old and Older. Health, Financial, Legal Documents, Residence, Caregiving Plans and the Like are Important Features of Looking Ahead at Future Needs, Especially When a Disease is Already Present.

In the last couple of weeks, we haverecieved calls and new clients who ?just want to establish ties with a Home Care Company? or ?need a bath visit once or twice?.

I?m wondering whether this is sheer coincidence or an actual trend? Although we usually have a minimum hours of care a week inorder to aid in forming a schedule and routine for both the client and their spouse, flexibility is an important feature in home care.? Usually a call comes when a family is in a crisis or after a hospital or rehab stay so the need is acute and can last a few weeks or much longer. That is the obvious call to make. It is a bit more subtle to think ahead, even?when there is? a real possibility of needing in home assistance, and actually making the call and establishing a relationship prior to the actual need.

Starting slowly, with a bath visit?or a driver for shopping is another way to become familiar with a home health company, and get used to having an aide or assistant/driver.

There is no charge or commitment to ?register? with Boca Home Care Services and have your information on file so that should an emergency (fall, fracture) occur you can just call us and let us know what type of schedule for care you choose.? This is actually an easy action to take which then gives both you and your parent (or visa verse) peace of mind.

We hope this is a trend. We applaud those families who do use a little forsight when thinking about a frail parent or a mostly healthy but aging parent, and their needs in living independently in their own homes.
