When is home help necessary for the elderly?

Home help becomes necessary for the elderly when they begin to struggle with daily activities and personal care due to physical or mental challenges.

There are often early signs that home help is needed, such as:

  • Difficulties with mobility: walking or transferring from bed to chair
  • Challenges in performing basic tasks: bathing, dressing, cooking, or managing medications.

You might also find that if your loved one is experiencing increased forgetfulness, confusion, or behavioural changes that affect their safety and well-being, it may be time to consider Professional Care and Home Help.

Tips for discussing Home Help with a loved one

It may be difficult to talk to your loved one about arranging Home Help for them, and they may not feel they need it. We understand how difficult these conversations can be, especially during a stressful and challenging time.

There are ways to speak to your loved one about receiving Professional Care, and we advise:

  • Clear communication: Clearly explain why you feel your loved one needs care and gently express your concern.
  • Choose the right time and place: Be mindful about when and where you have this conversation. Make sure it’s in a calm and comfortable setting where you won’t be interrupted and where your loved one feels safe.
  • Highlight the benefits of Home Help: Perhaps your loved one doesn’t fully understand the benefits of receiving specialised care. In this case, outline the positive aspects such as companionship and support with daily tasks that can enhance their quality of life and overall well-being.
  • Listen to them and include them in the decision: Ask for their opinions and preferences about the type of care they would like or accept. Make sure their voice is heard and validate their concerns and feelings.
  • Be patient and understanding: Recognise that this is a significant change in your loved one’s life and it may take time for them to accept Home Care in Bromley.

If you’re still finding the conversation difficult or your loved one is upset, it could be a good idea to seek professional advice for extra reassurance. No matter how many times you need to discuss Home Help, it’s important your loved one feels safe and listened to.
