Father’s Day is a wonderful time to celebrate the dads and father figures in your life. For so many of us, this may include fathers, grandfathers, fathers-in-law, uncles and other supportive loved ones who bring humor and joy to our lives.

Along with love and cherished memories, it is common to worry about the safety of our loved ones as they get older. Staying independent for as long as possible is the preference for many seniors as it is more comfortable and familiar. Aging in place can become more challenging but with consideration and planning, you can have peace of mind while your loved one lives their best life.

Home care assistance can make all the difference. One of the most important things that companion care can give an older adult is help with mobility and transportation. As we age, mobility can become difficult, especially as health issues become more pronounced or medication changes how a person navigates their world.

Mobility goes beyond walking. It can encompass reaching for objects or standing up from a chair. Since mobility allows a person to experience life, enhances their well-being, adds to their sociability and ultimately helps to boost a person’s confidence.

A personal caregiver can help a loved one with mobility by assisting with:

• Getting out of and into chairs, beds, cars and more
• Safely using stairs
• Helping modify their home including adding grab bars and handrails
• Assessing trip hazards
• Using mobility aids at home and outdoors
• Ensuring attending medical appointments as well as social engagements

There are many additional ways that companion care can elevate the life for dads, father figures or any loved one who is aging. Check out our site to learn more about these life-changing services.
