Live-In Care
While many people are comfortable with using home health care services that only visit daily – or even on specific days – there are times when individuals would prefer to have health care assistance around them at all times. For these situations, the best option is a live-in care assistant. Besides providing constant care and attention, these professionals can deliver companionship, friendly conversation, and even enjoyable activities. At John Allen Home Health Care, we’ve been providing a top-quality live-in care service since our founding, and we know exactly what it takes to support and stimulate individuals from one day to the next. If you’re considering a live-in care assistant for yourself or for someone you know, we feel confident you’ll be delighted with what we have to offer. If you’re at all undecided, start by reading up on what we can offer and why we’re the team to choose.
Daily Companionship
One of the challenges that some people face when they’re elderly, injured, or ill is the constant social isolation that results from being stuck in their homes. While there are ways to connect with people online nowadays, this is clearly no substitute for seeing people in person. So, what are your alternatives? With a live-in care assistant, you have someone who will provide daily companionship, making sure you never feel alone or too isolated. You’ll get to know this individual, and even strike up a friendship that makes the days pass that much more pleasurably.
Social Activities
When you have a live-in care assistant, you might think that they’ll only look after you and chat with you now and again – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. A live-in carer will plan and encourage social activities to help your days become more enjoyable and active. As they get to know you, they’ll take on your interests and help you build hobbies that suit your energy levels and physical mobility. For people who struggle with planning and organizing social activities like this, it really is an invaluable benefit that only live-in care can deliver consistently.
Regular Exercise
When your movement is limited and your energy levels are low, it’s far easier to sit and lay still than it is to move around. While this is understandable, it’s a trap you don’t want to fall into. If you do, your physical condition could deteriorate quite quickly. The remedy is regular exercise – but this is a challenge when you’re by yourself. With a live-in care assistant, though, it’s easier. They’ll encourage light exercise to keep you active and help you build fitness.
Mental Stimulation
Keeping a sharp mind is important for everybody – but it takes on greater significance as we age. When you’re by yourself, however, it’s easy to drift off into distant thoughts. Our live-in care assistants encourage active thinking in an effort to deliver mental stimulation, and these has wide-ranging benefits for individuals. As always, we’re concerned with taking care of people’s physical and mental wellbeing.
