Summer is in full swing and temperatures are climbing across the state of Texas. Not only is this unpleasant and uncomfortable, it is dangerous - especially for the population of elderly that call this state home. Older adults have a decreased ability to adapt to changes in body temperature, making them more susceptible to heat stroke. 

How In-Home Care Can Help

At HomeSpark, we offer non-medical, in-home care so that families can rest assured that their loved ones are safe and happy as they age in the comfort of their own homes. We know that it can be a challenging decision to bring a professional caregiver into your home, but we aim to make the transition as smooth and seamless as possible for every member of your family. If you have been wondering whether our in-home care services are right for your aging parent or family member, we have outlined 3 reasons why summer is the perfect time to find in-home senior care.

Safety

Comfort and safety are key to staying well in the soaring summer temperatures. Our in-home caregivers will make sure that your aging family member is drinking enough water to stay hydrated, will help prevent heat-related illnesses, and make sure that their home is comfortable and cool. We will also provide transportation services to safely take them where they need to go and cook nutritious meals so that they are always feeling their best. 

Fun 

Summer memories are best when shared. Our professional caregivers will keep your loved one active and engaged, which is especially important in the heat when it’s normal to not feel like doing anything at all. Staying engaged is important for social, mental, and physical well-being. Your aging family member can look forward to companionship services that focus on stimulating activities and social interaction. 

Convenience 

The benefit of non-medical, in-home care is that it is completely personalized and customized to meet your family’s needs. Our goal is to provide convenient, flexible care that you can trust. We happily accommodate varying schedules and individual needs and will always go above and beyond to meet the care needs of your loved one.
