Enriching the Lives of Seniors Through Technology and In-Home Care

In October, Always Best Care wrote a post on our blog that explained how wearable technology monitors heart rate, biometrics, and how they can be a valuable asset to non-medical caregivers, allowing them to gather more accurate information about their senior client. As the senior population continues to grow each year, dynamic technologies like GPS and sensors centered on senior involvement can help elderly family members stay at home longer. As a continuation of our previous blog post, we have listed 3 technologies that have the potential to change and improve home care services in the coming years: Sensors – Sensors are being used by more caregivers than ever before, and can be placed on windows, doors, and in many other places around a senior’s home. These sensors can alert caretakers when their elderly patient has difficulty in the bathroom, falls down, or even vital signs. GPS – In the event that a senior is away from their home, GPS allows family members or caregivers the

Many Employers Now Allowing Pre-Tax Dollars for Senior In-Home Care

If you’re an adult child that is responsible for providing your aging parents with home care, then you know how time consuming this act of love can be. With a family of your own, and a full-time job, finding the time to take care your senior loved one can almost seem like an impossible task. The senior population in the US is set for incredible growth in the coming years, and as such, more employers are beginning to offer ways for their employees to give their parents the elder care they need. From 2008 to 2014, the share of companies offering information about senior care services has gone from 31% to 43%, says the 2014 Families and Work Institute’s National Study of Employers.

The Holiday Gift of Independence and Happiness

Being at home for the holidays is one of the best feelings one can have, no matter what age. Memories are built during this time of the year through warm nights huddled around the fire, large family gatherings, and warm embraces. It is memories like these that make a home what it truly is: a place of comfortable familiarity that evokes feelings of happiness. This holiday season, give the senior in your life the greatest gift that you can give them – the gift of independence! Not all seniors need extensive in-home care. In fact, many men and women only need help with simple chores like carrying in a sack of groceries to and from the car.  With Always Best Care’s Custom Care Plan, we can determine the level of care that your loved one needs.
