Many seniors in the Commonwealth of Virginia benefit from in-home care. Find out how you can benefit from in-home personal care services in Richmond, VA.
What Are In-home Personal Care Services?
Many seniors in Virginia receive care of some sort. For some seniors, this care focusses on their mental health and emotional wellbeing. For others, the care focusses on making their lives more convenient and helping them with chores and errands. Personal care services help seniors with the activities of daily living.
These are everyday activities we all do to take care of ourselves and manage our lives. For young, able-bodied people, brushing one’s teeth, using the toilet, and getting out of bed in the morning is no problem. However, many seniors and people living with disabilities require help to accomplish these tasks. And that’s what personal care givers do.
In-home Care
Seniors can receive personal care in senior care facilities. There are many such communities across Virginia, such as assisted living communities, nursing homes, and retirement homes. However, many seniors would prefer to continue living in their Richmond homes. Maybe they have an emotional attachment to their home, they prefer high levels of privacy and personal space, or maybe they simply don’t want to bother with the hassle of moving.
Furthermore, these communities can be quite expensive. They charge rents and fees whereas, with in-home care, you only need to pay for the services you receive. For all these reasons, many elderly Virginians prefer to receive personal care services in their own Richmond homes.
