When your senior parent is aging in place but you don’t live close enough to check on them regularly it can be very stressful. For many adult children, it’s not possible to pick up everything and move to where their senior parent is. Even trips to see them can be tough to manage sometimes. If you’re worried about your senior parent but can’t move closer to them or visit more often than you are, don’t worry. 24-hour home care services can be a fantastic way to make sure that your senior parent is doing well at home.
There are lots of things that you can do to make sure your senior parent is safe and comfortable from a distance like:
24-Hour Home Care
A 24-hour home care provider can visit your senior parent daily to check on them and help them with activities of daily living. A 24-hour home providers do the kinds of things that you would do for your senior parent if you could.
They will help your senior parent cook meals, keep the house clean, run errands, shop, get to medical appointments, and take care of pets. They also provide companionship and encourage your senior parent to participate in fun hobbies and activities. Talk to our local care agency where your senior parent lives to find out more about the benefits of 24-hour home care.
Create A Local Support Network
If your senior parent has a fall or some kind of medical emergency they will need immediate local support. In addition to having 24-hour home care talk to some friends or neighbors in the area and establish a local network of support that can step in and help if your senior parent needs any type of immediate help.
Establish An Emergency Plan
Talk to your senior parent and come up with a plan to get in touch with each other or meet up in the event of an emergency like a tornado, a hurricane, a fire, or a flood. Now that wild weather and record-breaking storms are becoming normal it’s important to have an emergency plan in place if you can’t be there to help your senior parent.
Consider A Meal Delivery Service Or Other Home Services
These days there are lots of home delivery services that can make independent living easy for seniors, even seniors that don’t have any family nearby. You can manage these services through an app for your senior parent. Rideshare services can make transportation services easy. Home grocery delivery means that your senior parent will not run out of food or essentials. Meal services that deliver premade meals can make it easier for your senior parent to enjoy delicious healthy meals.
Use Technology To Stay Connected

In addition to having an extensive work background in healthcare, my recent educational experience allowed me to earn my Doctorate Degree in public healthcare.
