Is your beloved senior in the home feeling down and unable to enjoy the great outdoors as he/she used to, whether because of unruly weather or a pervasive injury/disability?
At A-1 Home Care in Costa Mesa, we provide leading caregiver services so that seniors from all walks of life, can feel good about their health in the home going forward. Some of these services include helping elders experience increased enjoyment in the home no matter what the circumstance may be.
Take a look below at 5 ways that the senior care experts at A-1 Home Care can keep elders’ enthusiasm up for daily living in the home simply by optimizing their senses:
Sound. Music is a beautiful thing– in fact, music bypasses the intellectual parts of the brain and goes straight to our emotions. Music therapy is now being heavily implemented in many nursing homes and hospices throughout the world because of its clear effect on elders’ moods and dispositions going forward.
Sight. Just because our eyes help us to see the beauty all around us doesn’t mean that a TV screen counts! When the weather permits, helping a loved one to simply sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty all around and as far as the eye can see can do wonders for that senior’s outlook on life going forward.
Touch. Because many elderly people are fragile and/or their spouses have passed away, they seldom get to enjoy the close human interaction they have had for so long. A-1 Home Care caregivers provide affectionate assistance even with things like a simple hug, a friendly pat on the back, or something else to express physical touch for those who need it. A personal therapy pet also can suffice for that closeness many elders yearn for.
Taste and Smell. If your loved one is having a tough time cooking for himself/herself in the home, the 24 hour care experts at A-1 Home Care can cook delicious and nutritious meals just to sweeten life up a little bit! They provide tasty sweet treats that have a direct correlation with pleasure (both for our nostrils and our taste buds), which are sure to improve your beloved elder’s outlook in the home.
