When it comes to properly caring for our senior citizens, being more than a caretaker who just reminds them of their medication is required. Elderly citizens need human contact just as much, if not more, then everyone else. Basic communication with another person is critical for their mental and emotional health. Giving time and attention to an older person can make all the difference in the world.

Emotional support:

Our carers are here to be a reliable companion. We understand seniors don’t just need someone who can stay by them, like a babysitter, they need and deserve so much more than that. Our staff members will come to the senior’s home to chat, laugh, discuss, and share deep thoughts and feelings with them. More often than not, an unbreakable bond is formed between the carer and the senior. We consider it a mission accomplished when our carer is just as thrilled to pay a visit to the senior, as they are to welcome them into their home.

Fun and games:

Elder care varies for each senior. Some may require around the clock care, while others will only need assistance for an hour or so a day. Elder care is created to help assist aging adults in their homes to avoid having to move to a nursing home. Nine out of ten senior citizens have reported they would prefer to stay home for as long as they possibly can. With in-home elder care, that’s now possible.

European Best elder care:

We understand the desire for a senior to stay at home. We’re here to make that goal a reality. By offering services like medication reminders, transportation, and help with daily tasks, aging adults can remain independent for longer. Our staff is primarily made up of European’s with extensive knowledge in caring for the elderly. Elder care isn’t just about helping out around the house, though, it’s also a way to create a human connection for a senior who may be experiencing feelings of isolation, loneliness, or depression. Human communication is essential for our well being. Our carers are ready to chat, play games, or take a nice walk around the neighborhood to increase the senior’s social life.

How often will we come?

Hospice care or end of life care is designed for people who are terminally ill and in the advanced stages of their illness. The primary focus of hospice care is to prioritize the patient’s comfort and quality of life. This is usually done with various medications to help reduce pain and suffering. The patient will likely be in a hospital bed but remain in the comfort of their own home.

Fully coordinated hospice care at home:

When the disease progresses, they will likely need assistance to keep them comfortable. Our team of hospice carers is ready to help your loved one feel more social while we work hard to ensure their pain is subsided.

Support for family members:

Undivided attention for your loved one, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. 24/7 care is the best solution for aging adults to receive care from the comfort of their own home. Private live-in care is an excellent alternative to assisted living, as the clients will still receive dignified, around the clock care without having to move. European Best Care is here to work with you and your family. We are ready to set up a personal team just for your family members according to their specific needs. Our caregivers will work in shifts to ensure there is always an alert, competent, and friendly caregiver on hand to help.

Who will benefit the most from 24/7 support?

• Anyone with significant or progressive memory loss
• A person who has been known to wander
• Anyone who feels scared to be alone at night
• People who need constant care for illnesses
• Elderly with limited mobility
• People who need help eating/drinking/toileting

Handling Emergencies:

While making a call to a 911 dispatcher in the middle of the night is scary, it would be even scarier if the senior was alone. Our caregivers are fully trained to assist an older person experiencing a medical crisis. One of our expert caregivers will be in the home 24/7 to ensure that no matter what time of day or night, your loved one will be in good hands. If, for any reason, a medical crisis or emergency arises, our caretakers will immediately call the paramedics and get in contact with family members.

General care and basic hygiene may become increasingly difficult for aging seniors. Not being able to do daily tasks like shower, use the bathroom, or get dressed alone can make people feel depressed, sick, or like a burden. We can ensure your loved one will never feel negative feelings when one of our helpers is there. Our staff is thoroughly trained and understands the scope of their work may not be the easiest, but they handle each and every situation with grace and show nothing but dignity and respect for the senior. We’re here to help show seniors that even though they may need a little extra help, that’s ok! Our care is done in a way that is discrete and never crosses personal boundaries. Each carer is expertly trained and will encourage independence whenever they can.
