Reasons to Choose Home Care

As tough as it may be to enlist the help of a "stranger" when caring for your parents, sometimes it's for the best. It takes the strain off of you and your parent benefits from professional care in the comforts of home.1 - Home Care promotes healing."I know that our clients enjoy a much better quality of life which many families have said helped to extend the lives of their loved ones." says Peter Ross, CEO and co-founder of Senior Helpers. "We focused on healing the mind, not just the body."2 - Home Care is safe."Many risks such as infection are eliminated or minimized when care is given at home," says Ross. Quality home care by professional caregivers can help prevent issues that may become very serious within the home like preventing falls in the home.3 - Home care allows for maximum freedom.Patients at home may be engaged with their typical daily activities as their health permits plus it allows patients to receive care in the least restrictive environment.4 - Home care gives some control.As baby boomers age the home care option gives them more control over the type of care they'll get to choose. Giving more choices in their own care5 - Home care is personalized."The best reason to choose home care is because the care that will be received in the home will be individualized to each patient according to their specific needs, Milca Pabon, RN6 - It eases burdens on the family.Pabon explains, "With the length of stay in the hospital decreasing patients are going home earlier and many of them do not choose to go to a rehabilitation center to recover," rather, they want to go home to their own environment and have someone provide them with the care they'll need to reach their maximum level of function.7 - Home care is comfortable.Studies show that people would prefer to stay in their home. There is familiarity and comfort of being in one's own environment...Editor's Note: Written by Vicki Salemi (shortened from original version) and submitted by Bent Schoellhorn, owner of Senior Helpers of Greater Dallas and may be reached at 214-361-7943 or by email at bent@seniorhelpers.com.

Planning for the Future

Have you created an estate plan for yourself? Estate planning doesnt have to be overwhelming, nerve-wracking or boring. Its simply a method to outline your intentions for your assets and possessions if you are not able to take care of yourself or pass away.  Why do you need an estate plan? It gives you control now over events in the future. It can involve everything from who receives your financial assets and who your possessions are given to. Distributing possessions is often one of the hardest and most emotional parts of a loved ones passing. Having a complete inventory and clear direction makes things go much smoother for the remaining family members.  Another word that you need to know as you step into estate planning is probate. This is the legal process that administers and divides your estate according to your plan or local laws. Probate is the step in the process when any outstanding debts are paid, and other disputes are settled. This is the time when paperwork with the courts or localities is done, and assets are distributed if necessary.  How does WayForth fit in? Having a home inventory is helpful when all involved parties need to understand the value of the estate or decide what to keep and what to pass on or donate. WayForth will create a complete, detailed inventory for large and small estates and can also help with downsizing, coordinating donations, and clear-out and prep for sale services to help with your estate.   For help with your next move, contact WayForth's moving professionals today.
