Finding Support While You Age in Place
Nearly 90% of seniors want to stay in their home as they age, but complex medical events, smaller changes in mobility or a diagnosis of dementia can make that challenging. It’s common to need extra help with personal care, meal preparation, transportation and other important tasks. In most cases, the first people you’ll turn to are family members, but even the most well-intentioned spouse or adult child might not be physically or mentally prepared to meet all your needs alone.
Professional home care changes the picture for many seniors by ensuring they have the support they need to safely and comfortably age in place. Highly trained in home aides work with you, one-on-one, to provide assistance with daily care needs and support and encouragement as you continue to work to maintain your independence. The Salus Homecare team collaborates with you to create an effective plan of care, and then we schedule services so that they’re never disruptive to your daily routines or schedule. This results in a more enjoyable home care experience and improved outcomes for you or the senior you love.
