When to look into homecare

We make it possible to enjoy the comforts of home - in your home

Embassy Healthcare has been committed to providing high quality health care services since 1998.  Embassy provides quality nursing and rehabilitation services to thousands of seniors across Ohio.  Many of our residents choose to recover and move home or to their setting of choice. Embassy Healthcare proudly announces that we are now providing nonmedical homecare services. When it comes to a choice of living arrangements, most of us are going to choose our own homes.

The signs that a loved one needs help can be subtle: spoiled food in the refrigerator, dust on the furniture, spills on floors and carpets, piles of old newspapers. The failure to tune into those signs can lead to not-so-subtle problems such as falls and health issues that threaten a loved ability to remain at home.  Focusing on a loved ones lifestyle while encouraging independence can allow a family or friend to take the steps in the direction of keeping someone safe.

Here are other signs to watch for:

1. Look over the grocery list. Has your loved one's declining health prompted her to purchase more convenience and junk foods, and neglect proper nutrition? Is she losing weight?
2. Look up at fans and ceilings. Has the inability to lift her arms and climb stepstools prevented your loved one from cleaning soot and grime from high places?
3. Look down at frayed carpets, throw rugs, and furniture, which could be creating tripping hazards. Does Dad's bad knee put him at greater risk on cracked sidewalks and with broken stair rails?  
4. Look below bathroom and kitchen sinks. Is poor eyesight making it difficult for your elderly relative to read medication labels and to properly store cleaning materials? Is he forgetting to refill medications and to take them on schedule? Check the refill date against the number of pills in the bottle to help determine if your loved one is taking medication regularly.
5. Look at your senior's appearance. Is clothing dirty and unkempt, and is your loved one neglecting personal hygiene? 

But when a family can no longer provide the care their aging parent or loved one needs to make that happen Embassy Homecare can help.  Please contact Embassy Homecare at 440-658-1454 or www.embassyhealthcare.net.
