It's what you fear most - the phone call from a neighbor who paid a goodwill visit to your long-distance loved one, only to find that he had fallen and was immobile for the past 24 hours with no food, water, or medication. Unable to reach the phone, or perhaps unconscious, your loved one would have suffered under these circumstances.
This incident happens all too often to seniors living alone in their homes. And the truth is that while these types of accidents can't always be prevented, the timely response to such an accident can spell the difference between living at home or moving your loved one into a nursing home or assisted living facility.
The First Line of Defense
Let Home Instead Senior Care help. Not only will our in-home care services provide instant emergency response to any type of accident or medical problem, but most companionship and home helper servies prevent these types of emergencies from ever occurring; such as falls, missed medications, improper dosage of medications, choking, or kitchen and bathroom accidents.
With the aid of a highly trained CAREGiver by your loved one's side, you can breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what accidents and emergencies may happen, there is a caring and quick-thinking CAREGiver there to ensure the prescribed medication is taken, call the ambulance, be the emergency contact, provide help, and comfort and soothe your loved one.
While Home Instead Senior Care is not licensed to provide medical treatment to our clients, we can offer the invaluable service of being the first line of defense when an emergency strikes. You have many other responsibilities besides the care of your loved one. Leave emergency response to our CAREGivers so you can be confident that your loved one is going to be safe and healthy no matter what happens in life.
Simply call us at (847) 690-9825 to schedule a NO-COST, NO-OBLIGATION in-home assessment of your loved one's needs. . . or make your request online.
