We generally spend our lives doing our best to avoid dangers in order to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. Purchasing a family vehicle with top safety ratings, wiring our homes with security alarms and smoke detectors and even doing something as simple as looking both ways before crossing a street. Many of us have been taught from early childhood to be cautious and we began implementing these and other strategies as we grew.
While some safety issues may lessen as the years pass, others may increase. When you or a loved one is recovering from an injury, are experiencing memory loss or have developed physical limitations certain concerns arise. These issues can be even more concerning when there isn’t someone there who can help ensure everyday safety for you or your family member. Aqua Home Care refers caregivers who provide the type of quality in-home care service that prioritizes your well-being. Your caregiver can help relieve your safety concerns by:
- Preventing falls
- Cleaning up dangerous spills such as broken glass
- Making sure meals are fully cooked and eaten regularly
- Turning off and unplugging small appliances or lamps
- Making sure windows and doors are locked
- Keeping the room temperature at an appropriate level
- Providing assistance when walking outdoors
- Driving to ensure a safe arrival to the doctor’s office or other locations
- Changing wound dressings to avoid infection
- Providing assistance with personal hygiene to support physical and mental well-being
- Being present and alert in case of emergency
- And more
Whether you or a loved one is in need of part-time, full-time or live-in care, Aqua Home Care is here to find care that meets your needs so that you can have the best in-home care experience possible. We are happy to refer quality in-home caregivers so that you can have peace of mind in knowing you or your loved one is being cared for, is in the comfortable surroundings of their own home, and is safe.
