One of the issues that comes with age is that it becomes more difficult to move about. Seniors may have trouble with climbing stairs, getting into and out of beds and chairs, or walking for an extended period of time. Golden Heart can help seniors of Kettering, OH with all their mobility needs. Your senior caregiver will be there to assist with daily living tasks and activities inside as well as outside the home.
One of the most serious dangers for elderly individuals is the risk of injury due to falling. As people age, their bones and muscles weaken, which may lead to a loss of balance which could result in a fall. This is especially dangerous for seniors, as they tend to have thinner blood which could result in serious bruising or internal bleeding. Sprains and broken bones are not unusual occurrences for seniors who have fallen.
It is important for the family’s peace of mind that their loved one is accompanied by a professional senior caregiver. Our care aides are trained to handle senior mobility issues and will be there to contact medical help should an emergency occur. In order to reduce the risk of falling, they will make sure the living space is clean and free of clutter. This includes tidying up loose cords and rugs, and reorganizing furniture to provide room for walking. If necessary, balancing bars will be installed in key areas of the home.
Besides providing support with balancing, care providers from our in home care agencies are also highly knowledgeable in positioning. Should your loved one require rest or sitting for an extended period of time, they will be positioned correctly in order to increase blood flow, reduce muscle stiffness, and facilitate deeper breathing.
