Appreciating Growth, Growing, and Care Services that Support, Maintain and Prolong

Our sense of wisdom, stability, appreciation for the little things, understandings and more acute awareness tend to grow as we grow. The experiences we face in life water these acquirements so that personal growth accompanies physical growth. Though views of aging aren’t always positive, growing older doesnโ€™t have to be synonymous with negativity. While aging is a path on which we must venture, the changes this transition brings about can certainly vary. There are underappreciated aspects of having lived a long life, and these mustn’t be overlooked. Rather, the lesser observed benefits of aging should be celebrated.

Of course, there are physical impacts of aging that may impede daily living. These can includeย weakened muscle tone, decreased vision/hearing, mobility limitations, slower reaction times, memory issues, lower energy levels, health conditions, and more.ย Here at Aqua Home Care, we understand the importance of maintaining quality living. Having spent years guiding individuals in need of support toward in-home care services that enhance daily life, we have seen a vast range in level of care requested. While aging can bring about conditions that make having a caregiver nearby beneficial, in-home care isnโ€™t an ending point. Rather, caregivers can help their clients with everyday needs while also promoting physical, mental and social stimulations to help support mobility, sharpness, happiness and growth. This may be done through:

  • Having conversations and discussions
  • Providing transportation to social events/activities in the community
  • Providing transportation to classes in the community
  • Reading together
  • Taking walks together
  • Preparing healthy meals
  • Providing medication reminders that are needed to stay well
  • Playing games
  • Looking through photographs and talking about the past
  • And more

Though turning back the hands of time may not be possible, there are ways to help maintain oneโ€™s physical and mental state. Even when care is necessary, having an in-home caregiver doesnโ€™t equivocate with frailty. Each stage in life brings changes, some more welcomed than others. It is important to remember that aging isn’t something to be taken for granted, and that more years on Earth are often spent learning more about life. Through maintaining socialization, staying active and through proper diet and exercise, certain physical impacts of aging may appear later rather than sooner. These practices can be put into place at any stage and, when utilizing in-home care services, a trusted caregiver can provide assistance with these practices as well. Aging does involve life changes. With self-care and in-home care, quality living is supported, maintained and prolonged.
