Home Care Assistance Montgomery and Auburn/Opelika

This Alzheimer's Awareness Month, we're recognizing the family caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer's. You dedicate a lot of time and energy to your loved one's care, but it's also important to balance that with taking care of yourself. Here are some simple ideas to get you started: 1. Create a routine for yourself and your loved one. This reduces anxiety for them and makes it easier for you to get the breaks you need. 2. Get support through support groups, connecting with other caregivers, going to therapy, or confiding in a friend. 3. Plan respite care regularly to take care of other responsibilities and to do things that help you feel refreshed. If you need support with your loved one's care, get in touch with our experienced team at Home Care Assistance: https://lnkd.in/es3aXHbH #athomecare #independentliving #eldercare #seniorcare

Are you heading home for the holidays? Holiday visits are the perfect time to ensure your loved one is safe and thriving at home. Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, but most are preventable. During your next trip home, take the time to walk through their home, perform any repairs, notice changes in their health, mobility, or eyesight, and ensure their shoes and clothes are in good condition. Check out our helpful graphic for all 10 areas to focus on during your safety check. #caregiving #montgomeryAL #caregivers #inhomecare

Home is where the heart is! According to AARP, 77% of those aged 50 and older desire to stay in their homes as they age. Over the past two decades, the percentage of older adults living in traditional homes has increased, while nursing home populations have declined. Aging independently, when done well and coupled with physical activity, can help reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline, while improving overall quality of life. However, maintaining independence in later years requires proactive measures and support systems.
