What Respite Services Are and Why They Are Better Than Nursing Homes

Respite services in New Hampshire are practical aids that people who are unable to care for themselves can use to help them with basic daily tasks. These services, known as Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), are sufficient to allow a person to remain in their own home rather than move into assisted living or a nursing home.

 

There are several ADLs that are covered by in-home care services. A person's capacity to live safely at home alone would be compromised if any of these really basic and important needs were not fulfilled.




 

The following are some examples of in home assistance for seniors:


ü  Dressing

ü  Meal Preparation

ü  Medication reminders

ü  Bathing

ü  Toileting

ü  Grooming

ü  Mobility

 

The advantages of personal care services

There are several advantages to choosing this kind of in-home care over assisted living or nursing homes.

 

Allow to Stay at Home. Seniors can live in their own homes, especially if they are getting the kind of companionship that personal care services offer. Help with modest duties can often be sufficient to enable an elderly person to live in safety and comfort at home for years.

Lower Cost. 

 

While there are costs associated with personal home care, they are typically much lower than those of assisted living or nursing homes.

 

Individualized care. Personal care attendants are able to concentrate on the client's specific needs. Every circumstance is unique; some may call for round-the-clock care, while others may only need assistance for a few hours each day.

 

Better Quality of Life. We have discovered that personal care services enable our senior customers to reside at home, keep some level of freedom, and develop strong relationships with their caregivers.
