Have you ever wished you had someone to talk to, to go on walks with, or to just keep you company?
There comes a time in every adult’s life when they must begin to rely on others for help with activities of daily living. For many seniors, this process begins with hiring an elderly caretaker or “sitter.” Although most family members or close friends are happy to provide this type of support, there are circumstances in which professional care is necessary. So, how do you know when an elderly sitter is right for you or your loved one? Here are four signs to look for:
-
Your loved one is becoming isolated.
If your elderly loved one is beginning to withdraw from activities they once enjoyed or is having difficulty leaving the house, it may be time to consider hiring a sitter. A sitter can provide much-needed companionship, helping your loved one feel less isolated and more engaged in life.
-
Your loved one is experiencing memory loss or changes in cognitive skills.
If your loved one is starting to experience memory loss or changes in cognitive skills, it’s important to consider hiring a sitter. A sitter can provide vital assistance with activities of daily living including grocery shopping, running errands, light housework, and providing peace of mind for both you and your loved one.
-
Your loved one is at risk for falls.
If your loved one is at risk for falls, hiring a sitter may be the best way to ensure their safety. A sitter can provide physical assistance and help your loved one avoid dangerous situations.
-
Your loved one is dealing with a chronic health condition.
If your loved one is dealing with a chronic health condition, hiring a sitter can help them manage their condition and maintain their independence. A sitter can provide transportation to doctor’s appointments, help with medication management, and provide assistance with activities of daily living.
A companion can provide conversation and social interaction, if you like to stay active, a companion can also provide transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, physical therapy, or even just to go out and enjoy the day.
