Caring for elderly parents who move in with you is a noble task. However, for many, mental and emotional preparation for housing with parents, grandparents or in-laws are not an option for working adults. Sometimes, adults become family caregivers overnight – and this major transition in life can be very taxing on the children, who most likely have their own children they must raise in addition to juggling a balanced work-and-personal life. Your dad may have a sudden heart attack after a holiday dinner one night after years of healthy living, or your mom might have suddenly suffered from a fall downstairs and there was no one at home to help her call the ambulance. Whatever the case may be, if you need additional assistance with elder care at home, A-1 Home Care will take care of your elderly loved ones and give you space to breathe.
Home Care & Intergenerational Bonding
When a grandparent moves in where there are children in the home, there are ample opportunities where kids (and adults) get to benefit from intergenerational bonding. Grandparents can impart life lessons to their grandchildren, and the children can bring much joy into their grandparents’ lives. However, if your parents need extra physical assistance, like toileting care, laundry, overnight care, and meal preparation, you as a working adult can get burned out very quickly and very easily. Joy can turn into sorrow if people’s tempers start flaring from lack of rest and sleep. Elderly people’s mood swings and irritability can be further agitated by a tired family caregiver. With assistance from a professional, certified caregiver from A-1 Home Care, you will benefit from a huge break in respite care, which provides help with meal preparation, bathing, hygiene, grooming, transportation, laundry, and light housekeeping.
