Personal Caregiver: Does It Truly Benefit an Aging Person at Home?

 Personal Caregiver: Does It Truly Benefit an Aging Person at Home?
If you’re carefully deciding whether your aged family member needs a personal caregiver to assist them at home, you must include considering looking for the best Home Care Service Provider in Hawaii.

Whether or not your senior loved one is staying with you or not, the advancing of their years will continue to be on top of your concerns. It’s understandably valid as the aging season can be challenging for any person. There will always come a time in your loved one’s life that they will be in need of someone who will dedicatedly take care of them.

As a Healthcare Service Provider in Hawaii, let us help you weigh in on making this decision by imparting these benefits of getting a personal caregiver.

  • Seniors can be assisted with their daily living activities. These include bathing, dressing, feeding, and toileting, among others. The more advanced the years of a person get, the more declining their strength will become. This may be a heartbreaking reality, but with assistance from a personal caregiver, your aging loved one can still manage to enjoy their later years.
  • Seniors will need help in preparing their meals. Some age-related illnesses can make it difficult for your aging family member to cook their own food, much less manage to make it to the kitchen. The personal caregiver can do this for them, including the assistance of purchasing healthy food ingredients.
  • Seniors can be easily at risk of falls, especially when no one’s assisting them. Due to the declining bone density, a slight trip can be hazardous to your loved one’s health. The personal caregiver can assist them in their movements or walk steadily beside or behind them ready to respond to any uneventful happening.
  • Seniors will also need sharpening of their cognitive and social skills. Having a personal caregiver provides them with an opportunity to harness their minds through quality conversations or brain-boosting games, while at the same time giving them a friend to enjoy having companionship with.
  • Seniors can worry about their safety when they’re alone. While not all seniors do, you or your loved one might be worried about their aloneness. Getting a personal caregiver gives you that peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for.

These are just among the many benefits that your senior loved one can enjoy when they have a dedicated person assisting them at home. Whether it’s a family member or a skilled provider of home care services, you can trust that having someone to accompany your aging loved one all the time is good and right for them.

The state of Hawaii has determined that most caregivers are considered employees and in order to LEGALLY hire and pay your OWN caregiver, you must have a company established with State and Federal tax ID numbers. In addition to their hourly pay you must also pay for Workers Compensation Insurance, Temporary Disability Insurance, General Liability Insurance, and if the caregiver works more than 20 hours per week you must also provide medical insurance for each caregiver. Therefore; choosing an established agency such as Helping Hands Hale is an affordable and easy solution that will save you time, money, and relief from being in violation of State and Federal Labor Laws.
