What Is Becoming More Difficult for Your Senior?
When you first start looking at ways to make life easier for your senior, you need to assess where she’s facing challenges. That lets you know where you have to start and what might be the best path forward to support her goals.
Running Errands and Planning Outings
Personal Care Marietta, GA: Difficulties and Seniors
There was probably a time when your senior didn’t give errands or planning appointments and outings a second thought at all. But as she ages, it can become more difficult for her to have the stamina for errands or even for her to drive to where she needs to go. Those kinds of difficulties can cause her to isolate herself and even just stop doing some of those necessary activities.
Cooking and Eating Meals
One of the activities that can suffer when your senior finds that her energy levels have shifted can be meals. It’s also a double-edged sword, because when your senior isn’t eating well, that affects her energy levels, too. Having personal care at home can ensure that your aging family member is eating delicious and nutritious meals on a regular basis.
Keeping Her Home Clean and Safe
When your senior’s home is clean and tidy, it’s also safe for her to be in. Again, changing energy levels and physical abilities can affect your senior’s ability to be able to keep up with everything that goes into keeping her home as safe as it needs to be. It makes all the difference for home care providers to take over some of those tasks for your elderly family member, leaving her the energy to focus on other priorities.
Interacting with Other People on a Regular Basis
Is your senior avoiding being around other people? Many aging adults find that life is becoming more difficult in a variety of ways and that affects their willingness to be around other people. That’s even true of people your senior normally wants to spend a lot of time around. That isolation can eventually become a big problem, but having personal care at home can give your senior the interactions that she needs.
Daily life may be getting more difficult in a lot of different ways, but there are options and solutions that can help your senior to adapt. Even if it takes a little while for your senior to fully accept some of those answers, they’re there to make her life and yours a little bit easier.

In 2012, I started my journey as a CNA at West Georgia Technical College and in 2014, I was hired by Universal Home Care as a CNA. I knew immediately this was a great company! Now, as the Office Manager, I may not get to see the clients we serve, but they all know I’m a phone call away to assist in any way I can! Allowing Universal to service you/your loved one is like working with a team/family who cares for, not only it’s clients but it’s employees! I’m a bi-product of the compassion this company shows!
