By Debby Franklin


It can be very hard to see parents getting old and not able to do what they have done for so long. Unfortunately there comes a time in everyone's life where the aging process will begin and in some cases help might be needed in order to let the elderly live out their lives in comfort. If this is the case it might be time to consider in home care for seniors.

These services all offer personal care, keeping the home clean, cooking of meals as well as giving medication. Another service that is offered is having all bills paid before the due date. Many times the helper will be nurses so that vital signs can be monitored as well as dressing of wounds.

If one is looking for this type of help speak to others that have elderly parents as well as friends and neighbours. One is also able to get information about the local government and community resources and which types of care and services are found in ones community. In the phone book under government can also give some names.

Depending on the services required prices will differ. One might be able to find some that do it out of the kindness of their hearts while others need to charge. Always check with the health insurance whether they cover this type of situation. There might be a few things that are covered but always check before hand.

In each meal that is given, there should be healthy fats. These include nuts, seeds and olive oil as well as nut butters. Whole grains such as brown rice, oats, whole wheat breads, fresh fruits and vegetables and all foods that is rich in protein.

Living alone especially if a senior the first thing that tends to be forgotten or ignored is to eat properly. These care givers will help at keeping a balanced diet being consumed so that certain diseases can be avoided. They not only cook but will also be there to keep up a conversation and engage in small talk.

Asking for help is not a sign of not caring it is a way of giving care and a way to help protect their dignity as well as enhancing their quality of life. It is a means of also giving that person companionship during an otherwise long day. Many institutions that offer this service have been doing this for years and are experienced in giving care as well as companionship when needed.
