With busy work schedules and the demands of daily life, caring for elderly loved ones or family members with disabilities can be a challenge. Brightstar of West St. Louis County provides quality experienced help. As the region’s leading source for in-home care, their compassionate caregivers are ready and available deliver expert assistance whenever it is needed, 24/7 seven days a week. Below, they explain the benefits of in-home care for your loved one.

Diet & Nutrition

If you’re unable to check in on your loved one each day, diet and nutrition become a primary concern, especially if they’re unable to cook nutritious meals for themselves. An in-home caregiver will help them get the proper nutrients.

Companionship

Seniors don’t want to sit at home alone each day. Lack of interaction can lead to depression and a negative outlook on life. With in-home care, your family member will interact with someone throughout the day. This companionship can greatly improve their quality of life. 

Medicine Management

When you’re at the office or busy focusing on other tasks, it’s difficult to monitor medications and when your loved one should be taking them. An in-home caregiver can take responsibility for this crucial task to ensure your family member is taking all the medications prescribed by their doctor. 

Light Chores

In-home care goes beyond a patient’s needs. During down time, a caregiver can also assist with light housekeeping chores. This way, you can rest easy knowing your loved one’s living space is neat and tidy.
