Staying Safe at Home in Delray Beach

February 25, 2020

Personal independence is the the ability to make your own decisions and choices; but sometimes as we age, our ability to do the things we enjoy can be stolen by declining health. For the Residents of the greater Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach area, BrightStar Care® of Delray Beach is giving back some of that Independence; because we know that good home care professionals don’t come in and take over your life!
 
A health care professional helps you live in your own home by assisting you with:
  • Exercises to retain mobility
  • Taking needed medications correctly
  • Food shopping and preparation
  • Complying with dietary restrictions
 
These are all things which can improve and maintain your ability to be independent. Your level of activity is up to you when you have someone by your side to maintain your safety. BrightStar Care® of Delray Beach employees have the training and expertise to meet your needs, from companionship to 24/7 medical care. They coordinate your care with doctors and therapists, but always keep your individual needs foremost in their minds.
Having someone to accompany you may allow you to get out more too. Maybe you’ve been missing out, but a companion will allow you the ability to:
  • Go out for meals or entertainment with friends
  • Visits local venues like museums
  • Attend religious events
  • Attend seminars or lectures
  • Participate in events at senior centers
 
Benefits Of Home Health Care are for EVERYONE!

Accepting home health care benefits your family members as well; They may be giving up their personal or job opportunities to care for you. A professional caregiver lets them have time off without worrying about your safety or security.
Individuals receiving care in their own homes generally are healthier and happier than those in facilities. Home is where they are most comfortable regardless of their physical or mental issues. Home health care can prevent or delay admission to a nursing home for many seniors; keeping you where you want to be! Additional benefits of home care include:
  • Family or friends can visit on your schedule
  • Modifications/equipment to prevent injuries
  • Less expensive than hospitals and facilities
  • Faster recovery times if you’re sick or injured
  • Your personal choices are given priority
  • Maintenance of your dignity and privacy
