Firstat Nursing Services, a Clairemont Mesa elder care agency serving the greater San Diego area shares timely guide, “3 Ways Home Health Services Help Caregivers Manage Stress.” 
“While being a caregiver to a loved one can be rewarding, it’s perfectly normal for it to also be overwhelming,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. The worry over your loved one’s health and safety, coupled with trying to manage medical appointments and your own busy schedule, can leave caregivers stressed. A home health care service provider can help you keep stress levels manageable.
Here are three ways home health care services help caregivers manage stress.
Home health care services step in when emergencies arise – When caring for a loved one that needs 24/7 care, any unrelated emergency can leave home caregivers panicking. Many family members are reluctant to leave their loved one to attend to the emergency. When they’re working with a home health care provider, though, help is just a phone call away. A home health care service can call in backup to keep loved ones safe and cared for, so families can leave to attend the emergency at hand. In turn, caregivers feel less stress when overwhelming situations arise.
Home health care services prevent patient falls – Seeing a loved one in an ambulance after a dangerous fall is stressful, to say the least. When family members can’t be there to keep loved ones safe, a home health care service provider can be in the home, offering them the support they need to prevent falls. This may mean reminding them to use support equipment like walkers, or physically assisting loved ones when dressing and bathing to prevent falls.
Home health care services take patients to appointments – Being a caregiver to a loved one is rewarding, yes, but it can also be overwhelming, especially when it comes to juggling busy schedules. When people are juggling their own work schedule and loved one’s medical appointments, a look ahead at your week can be stressful. A home health care provider can assist families in safely taking seniors to medical appointments.
