  Senior Care In Your Home By Starla Fitch for Sunlight Senior Care Most seniors know exactly who to turn to if they need medical care, even if it’s for something relatively small, like a cut that’s taking its time healing or an uncomfortable patch of dry skin. However, when it comes to the simpler things, many people have trouble asking for help. This isn’t an issue that’s limited to seniors. Working with a caregiver adds another dimension to a senior or person with disabilities’ life. They can often feel that their lives have been reduced to a series of medical and/or therapy appointments. Medical issues are important, there is no denying it, but a singular focus on problems associated with the body can make life feel impersonal and limited. A caregiver looks at the fine details of the whole person rather than focus solely on medical issues. For many seniors, this kind of personal long-term care and attention paid to comfort, and happiness provides welcome relief. Anyone who suddenly finds themselves unable to perform their regular scope of personal care and life management duties might feel ashamed of this, regardless of age and regardless of what’s causing the change. But no one should feel embarrassed to ask for help when they need it and for seniors or persons with disabilities, caregivers are the ideal people to ask. This kind of help may seem small, especially for those who don’t currently need help taking care of basic tasks like going to the bathroom, bathing, cooking, running errands and cleaning the house. But if someone you know is feeling overwhelmed by these everyday responsibilities, the help a caregiver provides is life changing. Private care giving provides non-medical support and focuses on helping with the everyday demands of life. If you have questions or need the help a caregiver can provide, call Sunlight Senior Care at (402) 200-5555, or visit our website – www.sunlightseniorcare.com. |
