There are many reasons why individuals and families require elderly care. Ventura, CA seniors with Alzheimer’s and other dementias might require specialized care seven days a week, for example, while others only need weekly visits for companionship and help with grocery shopping and light cleaning. Many aging adults also have health conditions that necessitate some level of additional care beyond what healthcare practitioners can provide. Some might require care for a short time while recovering from an injury or surgery, for example, while others require ongoing care for chronic senior health conditions. Ventura, CA seniors and their families are fortunate to have a team of caregiving experts ready to provide customized solutions for both temporary and ongoing health conditions.
When Medical Care Isn’t Enough
When people are recovering from an illness or surgery, or suffering from age-related chronic conditions, they typically require medical care. Healthcare providers including doctors, nurses, and medical aides may even visit patients in their homes to provide this care. However, people who are recovering from illnesses or injuries or living with chronic conditions such as arthritis and diabetes usually require more than just medical care. Daily activities such as dressing, bathing, preparing food, grocery shopping, getting to appointments, exercising, washing dishes, doing laundry, and cleaning might become more difficult or even impossible. This is why so many older people living with chronic health conditions turn to Home Instead for senior home care.
