Every week we like to spotlight and discuss an article that catches our eye and could be of interest to our Wellness on Wheels family! The article we are discussing today dives into why having home care services is a big deal for seniors and folks dealing with long-term illnesses. You know — those awesome home health aides, certified nursing assistants, and custodial care peeps? They make it possible for people with some limits to not just live, but thrive at home!
These home health heroes help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, ambulation, feeding, and medication reminders. They’re like your go-to pals for shopping, cooking, doctor visits, rides, and even just having someone to talk to.
While many prefer to stay at home, there are situations where residential or nursing care might be more suitable. Hiring private individuals instead of agency workers can lead to tax obligations, workers’ compensation, and liability issues. The link to the article below even shares some experiences from families who got into a pickle hiring private helpers.
Having someone keeping an eye on things is gold. Agencies have your back with support, ensuring care stays in bounds, and smoothing things out when things get tricky. So, it’s like a pro tip for ensuring your caregiver relationship rocks. That’s why Wellness on Wheels is here for you, guiding you every second of your journey through the medical world!
We provide a free consultation and assessment to review care needs and coordinate all care services with the best providers on our team!
