It’s tough to experience new things at times, especially for older adults. If your elderly family member has health issues she’s managing, then an adult day center may be an excellent choice for her. There are a great many types of support your senior can receive through adult day services, and her time there can coincide with respite for you and other family members.
Social Engagement
Often seniors don’t get as much social interaction as they truly need. Spending time at an adult day center with other people can give your elderly family member a big emotional boost and ensure that she feels less lonely and isolated. Other activities, like art and other hobbies, can help your senior’s brain to stay active and engaged.
Healthy Meal Options
It can be tough for your elderly family member to eat healthy meals as often as she should on a regular basis. Part of staying as healthy as possible involves eating delicious meals that are full of nutrients. Adult day health care can help your senior with that, as well as ensuring that your elderly family member eats her meals safely.
Personal Care Assistance
If your elderly family member needs other types of assistance, like help with bathing and grooming or other care tasks, that’s something that adult day health care can assist her with on a regular basis. This can help your senior with the actual tasks that are difficult, but also keep her feeling good as well.
Therapies and Treatments
Other types of treatments and therapies, like physical therapy and more, are also something that your senior can access at adult day centers. If your elderly family member needs help monitoring her blood pressure or blood sugar, that’s also something that she can get assistance managing.
Transportation to and from Home
Many seniors either find driving to be difficult or downright unsafe for them to do. But that doesn’t mean that it’s optimal for her to stay at home all the time by herself. Having reliable transportation to and from her home to an adult day center ensures that your senior has her needs met and that she’s able to get to the care center.
What your senior needs from adult day health care may vary depending on how she’s feeling and how her health is faring. As she experiences bigger changes, an adult day center can still be there for her.
