While nursing homes provide generalized care for all residents, home care provides individualized support for each unique client. While nursing homes may be suitable for some seniors, they may not offer the individual care and attention others need. Today, the compassionate staff from Safe Haven Home Care in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, NY, will explain why home care offers the most in-depth, individualized support.

3 Ways Home Care Offers Individualized Attention

1. Disability & Illness Specialization

Whether a client is coping with glaucoma, arthritis, or dementia, a home health aid provides the one-on-one, specialized care patients dealing with a range of disabilities and illnesses need. If a senior is dealing with dementia, for example, the caregiver can help provide reminders about day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. Those with glaucoma may need special support to navigate their home. Regardless of what ails a client, in-home aids can provide much-needed emotional support.

2. Brain Stimulation

From games of chess to long walks and talks through the park, to rousing games of cards, an in-home caregiver can help seniors enjoy brain-stimulating activities that will help keep them happy and healthy. Brain stimulation helps prevent dementia from worsening as well as diminishes the risk of it developing in the first place. An active mind and social life also help keep people of all ages feel happy and fulfilled.  

3. Peace of Mind

Ultimately, home care provides loved ones the peace of mind they need. When you choose home care, you and your loved one will have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with your caregiver; that way, you can rest easy knowing your loved one is in trusted hands.
