What Every Senior in North Vancouver and West Vancouver, BC Needs to Know About Living Alone

Care for Elderly Who Live Alone | Each Comfort Keepers® client has unique care needs.  That is why we offer a full range of home care services – to tailor personal care plans for the elderly who live alone. These services are provided by the special caregivers we call Comfort Keepers, to promote independent living to its fullest. Here are a few indicators that your elderly loved one would benefit from additional senior care when home alone.

May is #MentalHealthAwareness Month and the perfect time to ensure senior mental health and well-being. Comfort Keepers® North Vancouver and West Vancouver can help care for elderly who live alone.

Six Tips for Care for Elderly Who Live Alone:

Tip #1. Improper Hygiene:

If you’ve noticed that your loved one no longer takes proper hygiene steps, it’s time to consider bringing in assistance. It is unhealthy for anyone, especially seniors to not take good care of their personal needs. A professional caregiver can assist with baths, grooming, getting dressed and checking to ensure the aging adult is clean regularly.

Tip #2. Unclean Environment:

If changes in the home have taken place, and not for the better, your loved one may need help around the house. Growing mounds of laundry, dishes left in the sink or elsewhere, overflowing garbage and other similar conditions could mean that your loved one is struggling with basic housekeeping.

Tip #3. Falls or Injuries:

Noticing unexplained bruises, scrapes or minor burns on your aging loved one? More importantly, are they having difficulty recalling or explaining what happened to cause the injuries? This is a sign that you should begin seeking quality senior care. Elderly people are prone to falls, bumps, and occasional accidents. Eventually, these minor incidents can turn into major accidents.

Tip #4. Difference in Personality:

If your senior has become withdrawn from family, friends, and other social activities they once enjoyed, they could be experiencing changes in their personality. This is best accommodated by a caring companion to encourage seniors to be active. This approach helps to improve their mental health.

Tip #5. Socially Withdrawn:

When you notice that your senior loved one prefers to stay isolated and away from their friends, chances are they don’t feel well but fear telling the family. Professional care services provide transportation to appointments or a companion that motivates seniors to participate in those things they once enjoyed.

Tip #6. Easily Forgets:

If you have noticed that your aging senior easily forgets regular tasks such as showering, standing appointments, or names of loved ones they see often, senior care may be the best option. It is ideal for care professionals to help seniors recall important tasks, such as bathing and brushing their teeth.
