Do we need a Live in or Live-out Caregiver?

Specialized Care

With Americans living longer, chronic health issues affecting the elderly are overtaking acute illnesses as a major concern. It is becoming increasingly important to develop and test strategies that will help these vulnerable, at-risk populations live healthier, more independent lives.

Our Live-in caregivers are graduated and trained nurses with many years of experience that work in Canada under the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot program.

Plan Early

Planning early to learn about the management of caring for an elderly individual is a dreaded chore we are all faced with. However, by acquiring knowledge how to hire trained live-in caregiver under the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot program before a catastrophe strikes is imperative for providing quality care. Remember Family Caregivers are not trained. It can happen in an instant.

Caregiving

Care-giving means caring for others, whether friends or relatives, who have health problems or disabilities and need help. Caregivers provide many kinds of help to care receivers, from grocery shopping to helping with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, administering medication, personal care and eating.

Assess their current situation

As a family of an elderly person whether they are a parent, relative, spouse or friend, it is important to assess their current situation from all aspects.

If you decide to hire a home care worker, you will need to decide how much help your older relative needs. Will several hours a day be enough, does he or she need help all day until the family returns home, or does your relative lives alone and need round the clock care? You also need to decide what type of home care worker your relative needs.
