Home Care in Laurens SC

It’s not always easy to stay active, especially when faced with physical limitations and other challenges. For any senior who is recovering from a major health emergency, such as a heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, major surgery, or something else, or who has been dealing with increasing physical challenges as a result of aging, staying active will become a greater and greater challenge with each passing year.

Hiring home care services is one of the best options to helping these seniors stay as active as possible. Many family members step up to be a caregiver for their loved one, especially an aging parent, either because of a sense of responsibility or duty or because they don’t fully understand the various options available to help their loved one.

When these family caregivers begin working with their aging loved ones, one of the most important things to focus on is safety. They want to make sure their loved one is safe within the comfort of their home and may discourage certain activities.  In truth, most medical professionals encourage seniors to get activity on a regular basis. By getting exercise, it helps to strengthen the heart, even for those who have had a heart attack recently. It’s important to consult one’s primary care physician before taking on any new exercise regimen to ensure that they can do these activities in a safe way.

One of the benefits of certain activities?

One of the most significant benefits to staying active for seniors is an improved quality of life. When people sit around at home without doing much, it can make it difficult for them to feel positive about much in life. However, seniors who are active, who are constantly on the go (within limitations) often feel better and more fulfilled in life. They also will likely be getting invaluable exercise that is vital to their overall health and well-being.

Founder at Heart of the Carolinas

Edward Harrison founded the Heart of the Carolinas Homecare in 2007 when he saw there was a need for caregivers that provide non-medical home care services, at a price that most people could afford. It was standard in the industry to require hourly minimums and it was common to be assigned a caregiver, not matched with one based on your individual personal needs. Edward understood that to make a successful relationship between caregiver and client, skills were not enough, personality and compatibility plays as much a role as do skills.
