W hatever the level of care required by your loved one, we at MEGA CARE AT HOME can help you care for your loved one in the confines of your home for as long as possible.
Remember what Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz:
“There’s no place like home.”
Staying in their own homes can mean a great deal to many people. Familiar surroundings can be therapeutic, and can provide greater peace of mind.
It may be that you are caring for a family member recovering from surgery or someone who is chronically ill. We can help you with non-medical care services such as, but not limited to, palliative care, respite care, medicine reminder, meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, escort to medical/therapy appointments.
As you may already have experienced or learned from other people whom you know, the demands of family caregiving can be enormous and overwhelming – having to juggle it with full time jobs and parenting, consequently putting your own needs aside in the process.
It’s true that family caregiving may also create positive emotional change. Many family caregivers say their role makes them feel useful, capable and that they are making a difference in the life of a loved one. Sooner or later, you will find yourself steeped in the downward spiraling quagmire of caregiver stress.
Studies show that caregiving takes a heavy toll on physical and emotional health, further causing employment-related problems and compounded by financial strain. Caregivers, in addition, are more likely to suffer from depression than their peers.
We’d be the first to admit that we can’t be the cure-all to the heavy demands of caregiving. We will never be able to replace the love, support, and emotional bond of a person’s family. But… as we completely understand the challenges faced by the families of a senior, we are the next best thing for your struggles to be mitigated substantially.
Or it could be that your loved one may not require as much help… just assistance with activities of daily living, or activities important to live independently. Such may include assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, getting in and out of bed or chairs, doing housework, preparing meals, managing money, shopping for groceries or personal items, and help making medical and other appointments – to name a few.
We can help your loved one with that as well. Whatever your concern is with your aging loved one… his CONTENTMENT, COMFORT, SAFETY is of highest concern to us, including his family.
They will be content having more control over the decisions in life that can mean so much — deciding what time to get up and what to eat, for instance, can become very important if there is a threat that those choices may be taken away from them.
They surely will relish the comfort and familiarity of family, friends, and neighbors, as well as their community. They are sure to enjoy the privacy of their home. They may want to continue to attend the same religious activities and shop in their favorite local stores. Often, older adults are very committed to continuing long-term relationships even with physicians in their community.
We recognize the fact that housing and living arrangements appropriate for one older adult may be completely different to another. Different senior individuals will need different levels of care. What is most important is matching, as closely as possible, housing and living arrangements with an older adult’s needs and desires.
If you are beginning to think or re-think about your options or need to make a decision in the near future, we are here to help you get the
MEGA CARE AT HOME that you need.
