What is In-Home Personal Care for Seniors,
and How Does it Support Healthy Aging?

According to a 2021 AARP survey, almost 80% of seniors would prefer to age at home. Unfortunately, illness and disability often make it difficult for seniors to manage everyday tasks on their own. This situation creates risks for seniors and puts additional strain on family caregivers, who may struggle with worry and fatigue while trying to meet their loved one’s needs.

Caring for an elderly relative is rewarding, but it can also be stressful and tiring. Family members often struggle to balance their lives with the needs of their loved one, which can create feelings of anxiety, frustration, and burnout.

OPAAT’s services alleviate these challenges by providing non-medical in-home personal care for seniors and disabled individuals: Our compassionate, attentive team of caregivers can assist with many areas of daily living, such as shopping, meal preparation, and personal hygiene, allowing your loved one to age safely and comfortably in their place of residence.

In-home personal care services for seniors enable seniors to stay active, engaged, and connected with their community by preventing premature institutionalization and by increasing access to nutrition, recreation, and social opportunities. Aging in place has been shown to reduce cognitive decline and lower the risk of depression, injury, and mobility loss. For seniors who are already in long-term care, such as a retirement residence or assisted living facility, OPAAT’s personal care services can greatly increase well-being by providing companionship and health and mobility support.

What are the Benefits of In-Home Personal Care for Seniors?

⇒ Greater autonomy and flexibility.

Choosing personal care services means you can customize your loved one’s care to reflect their unique needs and preferences. Your family member will be able to select their own meals and mealtimes, visit others freely, and live life on their terms while still receiving comprehensive care.

⇒ Respite for caregivers.

Personal care services greatly reduce the risk of caregiver burnout by taking over many daily living tasks and by giving caregivers peace of mind. In-home care makes it possible for family caregivers to take breaks when needed and spend more quality time with their loved ones.

⇒ Affordability.

Aging at home is almost always more cost-effective than moving to a long-term care facility. This increased affordability gives seniors better control over their finances, allowing them to plan for other retirement and medical expenses – or to invest in hobbies, vacations, and other things they enjoy.

What our Clients Say

We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his team finding the right person to provide support for my parents. One Patient at a Time listened to our needs, spent time getting to know us and found the perfect fit! The personal care assistant has been kind, attentive and compassionate in providing care and companionship. Getting support sooner than later has made a huge difference for my parents as well as providing some peace of mind and relief for my sister and I knowing someone is checking in on them when we can’t. I highly recommend One Patient at a Time.

Linda

OPAAT is a local agency that is passionate about caring for seniors. I appreciate that they take the time to learn about their clients and match the caregiver to their needs. Great agency that is flexible and especially easy to work with. I recommend them to a family in need.
