This pandemic has been tough on all of us. But especially for seniors stuck inside all day with little exercise or social interaction other than family members. Activity’s such as a day at the senior center or holiday family gatherings have been put on hold. The normal respites for seniors such as grocery shopping or even doctors appointments have been curtailed in an attempt to protect our loved ones. Tensions have been high while the effects of this quarantine have continued to add more complexity to those tensions. Many have searched the web for ways to cope, for activities to try and enrich the days with something to inspire us. Despite attempts to maintain normalcy many have observed deteriorating physical and mental functions in their seniors, a result of the absence of social interaction and physical activity. Coping with this decline has added to worry and frustration.

For those doing the caregiving, this time has been fraught with additional burden and emotion. They need a break and those they’re caring for do too! While they care for their loved ones with all their hearts, everyone’s breaking points have been pushed to the brink.

At Brookville Home Care we can provide a much needed respite, which can relieve stress and worry. Our aides are well trained and experienced in caring for seniors, in addition to being some of the most compassionate and kind people we have the pleasure to work with. They can assure your loved ones are eating well, maintaining good hygiene and safety, taking medications correctly and provide much needed stimulation and companionship. They provide peace of mind and security with personal references from our clients, background checks and complete physicals already completed. Our aides are tested for Covid19 weekly and strictly follow CDC guidelines.

Consider calling Brookville Home Care for help. Whether it’s a long term or short-term placement, we can provide a much needed break for both caregiver and client. A home safety check done by a registered nurse will provide confidence that all is being done to prevent accidents or complications. And the presence of a “new” face will offer some much needed change for everybody.
