Home Is Where Your Life Is

Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean your life is over — in fact, you still have a lot of living to do! Home care is not just a choice for the dying and infirm anymore, it’s also a new way of life for those who want to enhance or maintain an independent life in the comfort of their own home. By taking advantage of the two types of MetroWest Boston home care services that Advanced Home Care Services offers — Companionship Services and Personal Care — you can enjoy everyday life at home without the need for assisted living residences or nursing homes.

Seniors are more active than ever and are living into their 80s, 90s and beyond. As such, staying physically fit is more important than ever. In fact, the CDC says that regular physical activity for seniors can lead to an improved quality of sleep, reduce symptoms of depression, extend life span and cut down on cognitive decline. Physical activity doesn’t mean running a marathon. It can be as simple as taking a walk around the block, going on an outing in the nice weather and even grocery shopping. You can get all this and more with companionship services that offer a helping hand, a listening ear, a confidante. You likely want to maintain the lifestyle you’re used to in your own home but you may need just a little bit of help in the form of meal planning, doctor visit transportation, diet monitoring, appointment reminding, laundry, ironing, light housekeeping, mail sorting, vital sign monitoring, medication reminding and even pet care. Personal care services are also available and include ambulation assistance, dressing, personal grooming, continence care, shaving and bathing.

Keep up your quality of life with in-home care. You have a right to maintain your dignity within your own home. Getting assistance with daily tasks, physical fitness and companionship through Advanced Home Care Services is key. Contact us anytime for a free home care consultation.
