CEO, Cherished Companions shares his thoughts on how the Recession will affect Home Care and the need for assistance from paid and non-paid caregivers (family or close friends). The need for home care is evidence based as aging adults prefer to remain in their home rather in care facility. As the state of Ohio moves to a homecare licensure program we must do a thorough and intensive look at who we have coming into the home to care for our loved ones.https://www.natlawreview.com/article/ohio-to-license-home-health-care-agencieshttps://www.cherishedagency.com/

Just remember to B.E.F.A.S.T.:B is for Balance: Does the person have a sudden loss of balance?E is for Eye: Has the person lost vision in one or both eyes?F is for Face: Does the person's face look uneven?A is for Arm: Is one arm hanging down?

Stroke recovery often includes Physical and Occupational Therapy - this is a must to regain muscle tone as well as strengthening the areas that have been affected and weakened. If you or your loved one can remain at home and receive these care services this may be more beneficial for some for the recovery process.Home care can be customized for the individuals needs and for many it is a smoother transition for improvement and recovery.https://www.cherishedagency.com/

With home health care, patients can get help managing their medications, meal prep, shopping assistance, as well as other daily tasks they can no longer do independently. THome care is noted to be less expensive as well as providing the elderly to adjust to their physical and or medical needs in the comfort of their home.https://www.cherishedagency.com/

Doug Wilber welcomes Mary and me (Karen) to share in the discussion as to what is your role as a caregiver. Not all caregivers provide the same services whether they are hired on or family and friends. Each individual brings their best to the center, that being the person who needs care, parent, spouse, sibling, child, etc. Family dynamics may change before, during, and after caregiving is no longer needed. If the focus is on the wants and needs of the person - you will be doing your best to transition them at this very sensitive time.As a caregiver, you are responsible for the health and well-being of someone who needs help with daily tasks and activities. The individual may need a caregiver because of an injury, mobility or memory issues, illnesses, or chronic conditions that make everyday chores more challenging.

It is important that we understand the concept of mask-wearing, WE are preventing others from germs/the virus that we may be carrying unknowingly. Yes, we are all tired of this disease and the need to protect each other but it is essential until the majority of the herd (that is us) are vaccinated and the likelihood of getting deathly ill from the variant is minuscule. The CDC has revised the guidelines and recommends that when in a large indoor crowd or even in a large outdoor crowd to protect others from the possibility that you may be a carrier of what could be deadly to an unvaccinated individual.***This is not a political conversation***
