Aging in place – the process by which elderly individuals choose to remain in their homes rather than transition to senior living communities – is by far the most preferred option for older Americans today. This can be especially well-suited for retired Americans who don't suffer from physical or mental limitations including severe arthritis or Alzheimer's disease, and therefore do not require a substantial degree of care.
However, one concern family members may have about this arrangement is that their loved one's condition could worsen over time and they may not have access to the assistance they need.
How telecare can help
For elderly Americans who don't yet require the continual care provided in senior living communities, telecare services can act as a safeguard, providing a sense of security for care recipients and loved ones alike. With Independa's CloudCare solutions, care recipients can benefit from remote monitoring and medical reminders while retaining their independence in the home they know and love.
Remote monitoring ensures that care managers can keep track of care recipients based at home and will therefore be able to identify changes in their routine that could indicate a shift in their physical or cognitive abilities. In addition, for those who experience an occasional lapse that may keep them from adhering to a particular diet or taking the pills they need to manage a health condition, medical reminders can serve as a perfect prompt to help these individuals continue to care for themselves at home.
These are just a few of the benefits that Independa offers for professionals who are providing in-home elderly care. Contact us through our online form today to learn more.
