Your house is one of your most treasured possessions. It has been a part of your lives for a long time, and now you have gotten it just right. But is there a time when you wonder, if there is a point at which you can no longer do the chores or if you become bedridden, will you have to leave your house? If you do not have someone to support you when you are no longer able, what will happen to you? 

These might not be the most pleasant questions to ask yourself, but they are really important ones that need to be addressed as one gets older. At Philia Care, we are well aware that as we age, we may find ourselves in the uncomfortable situation where we need the assistance of others to overcome obstacles in our lives. That assistance isn’t just with taking the right medication, cooking meals, or helping with household tasks. At Philia Care, we go above and beyond to make sure those in our care get comprehensive attention.

Spiritual and emotional needs

As we become older, we witness friends and family members pass away, which exacerbates our inherent and very human fear of death. We may seek refuge in our spiritual world, but our emotions still run the gamut as we attempt to process how we feel about aging. Our in-home care providers are there to help you make sense of your aging process. They are trained to provide you with both physical and mental support so that you can feel more comfortable aging at home, on your terms.

Home help

Of course, there’s always physical tasks to be done. While doing chores yourself does have its own benefits, sometimes these tasks can build up to the point of being overwhelming, or you may have to undergo surgery or find yourself in another situation where you’re just not able to do everything that needs to be done around the house. Your home care provider will be your right hand when it comes to vacuuming, dusting, doing the laundry, mopping, cooking, washing dishes, personal care, and everything else that needs to get done. Our helpers understand how important it is for things to keep going as they used to. As you get older or go through phases of physical illness or recovery, your helper will be right by your side to take over any additional tasks you are no longer able to do. 

Doctors and Medication

Other very important aspects of growing older are regular check-ups, vitamins, and necessary medications. Your home care provider will make sure you keep all your doctor’s appointments and will attend with you so that they can be fully aware of any changes or anything that needs extra attention. They will learn how to precisely administer your medication, and make sure the time and dosage is correct. At Philia Care, your well-being is our biggest concern. 

Family and social events

As we get older, family or social events can become more difficult to attend. For whatever reason—jobs, distance, the pandemic—gatherings with friends and family might seem few and far between these days, and it can be even harder if you’re older and cannot travel. But our home helpers make sure that there’s always the option of having your friends and family gather at your home. Philia Care’s trained helpers will help you decorate during the holidays, cook that special meal you have been looking forward to, and clean up so you can enjoy that precious time with your family or friends.

When you become a part of the Philia Care family, you will never be alone. We will always make sure that your needs are being met, and that you can live your life in happiness and contentment.
