We are fortunate to be living in an era with a multitude of options for elderly care. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors no longer have to resign themselves to a life without freedom, dignity, or choices when they reach a certain age. People often assume that when a loved one’s health declines, the only option is to search for “elderly homes near me.” Sherman Oaks, CA area residents can now easily imagine their elderly loved ones in the comfort of home for many years to come with some assistance from a Home Instead CAREGiver.
A New Era of In-Home Care and Support
Most people are familiar with the idea of nurses and nursing aides who visit the homes of seniors and people with chronic health conditions to provide medical care. These licensed home health professionals are often stretched thin and are only able to visit for specific reasons (such as rehabilitation from a surgery) at specific times of the day or week. What about all the other hours of the day when our elderly loved ones are struggling to care for themselves? With family members managing busy schedules including work, school, and their own children to care for, there aren’t always enough hours in the day to provide sufficient support. This is where Home Instead’s team of trained, screened, and bonded CAREGiversSM can step in to provide a wide array of in-home elderly services. Sherman Oaks, CA seniors and people with chronic health conditions all have different needs, which is why Home Instead also makes it easy to customize the in-home care services that each client requires.
