Flex Health Care, a leading provider of Non-Medical Home Care in Poughkeepsie, New York, is proud to offer the services of a live-in companion whose primary purpose is to help seniors remain in the comforts of their own home. However, hiring a live-in companion brings a number of benefits, not just for the senior, but for their family as well.

Benefits include:

1. Improved Safety. Living alone poses a great risk for seniors’ safety. However, hiring a live-in caregiver can improve that situation. Live-in companions can closely monitor seniors which can reduce the risk of falls, medication mix-ups, kitchen accidents, wandering, and more.

2. Improved Nutrition. Some seniors may be unable to cook or prepare meals for themselves due to poor health or a disability, opting to order takeout instead. Some seniors may even neglect their nutrition or forget to eat. A live-in caregiver can help improve their nutrition through meal preparation and dietary management. They can help prepare nutritious, well-balanced meals in accordance with their food preferences and dietary requirements.

3. Improved Socialization. Seniors who live alone are at a higher risk of depression but by hiring a live-in companion, seniors can get the socialization and companionship they need right in the comforts of their own home. Live-in companions can provide seniors with lively conversation, assistance with recreational activities, and they can even help with answering correspondence and helping the seniors stay in touch with their family and friends.

4. Improved Appointment-Keeping. Many seniors often fail to go to their appointments since they find it hard to travel alone – be it because of a lack of transportation or discomfort at traveling by themselves. Live-in companions can escort seniors to their appointments, may it be a medical appointment or a family gathering – thus, improving their appointment-keeping habits.

As a family member, you can have the peace of mind knowing that your aging parent is in good hands. You can rest assured that someone is there to take care of them when you can’t and that someone is there to monitor their safety and wellness.
