Why eldercare at home?

Elder care often becomes necessary when the elder starts experiencing difficulty with activities of daily living, both independently and safely. Daily activities may include cleaning, cooking, dressing, bathing, driving, taking medicines, etc. Elder Care is mostly needed when there is a gradual decline in an elder’s health with growing age, but it may also arise in emergency cases. For example, the elder one in your family is recovering from a broken joint or recently had a heart stroke and is still going through the cognitive and physical after effects.

Some of the common reasons people seek elder care include

1. Physical Difficulties.

2. Cognitive Difficulties

3. Emotional Problems

Numerous health problems may arise as people age and they are not able to perform many of the daily activities they once could. Their body may become more rigid, more fragile, and less resilient. Physical impairments related to particular diseases can also come in. Sometimes elders don’t report a physical impairment, hence it is important to get a complete physical examination on a regular basis.
