Your aging parent has always prided themselves on maintaining their independence, from driving themselves to doctor’s appointments to keeping the house tidy. A few years ago, they only needed a bit of help to stay safe and enjoy some companionship. But now, driving has become more difficult, and they need extra assistance around the house.

You know it’s time. Your aging loved one has begun to struggle with living alone, and you are constantly worried about their well-being. You want them to keep their independence as much as possible, but you realize that hiring a professional in-home caregiver will give them the support they need to maintain their quality of life. It wasn't an easy conversation to have with your loved one, but they agreed that this transition needs to take place.

Your family is faced with an important decision. Your aging parent can no longer take care of themselves safely, and you know it’s time to have an important conversation about the need for care.

As our loved ones age, their needs can become increasingly complex, especially for those experiencing memory-related challenges such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. In-home care offers a unique solution that not only provides essential support but also enhances the quality of life for individuals with memory care needs. Here’s how in-home care can be a vital resource in this journey.

You want what’s best for your aging loved one - and finding the right in-home caregiver to help them age safely in the comfort of their own home is no exception. At HomeSpark, we understand that the decision to bring a caregiver into your family’s home is not taken lightly. Below is our professional advice for choosing the best in-home caregiver to enhance your loved one’s quality of life.

For senior adults aging at home, turning a summer at home into a staycation is a great way to promote relaxation, find new enjoyable activities, and stay engaged. Staying engaged in fun activities has been shown to prevent feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Nearly 65% of adults over the age of 65 in the United States live with pain, and 35% of adults live with chronic pain.
