Warm Embrace Elder Care - Long Term Care Home Help

Your mother just moved into a long-term care home and shes very lonely. You do your best to visit when you can, but you have a full-time career, a teenager still living at home, you babysit your grandchildren two evenings a week, and youre still sorting through your mothers home, which hasnt yet sold. You wish you could see your mother more often, but youre already stressed out. Your mother tells everyone that no one ever visits her, and it breaks your heart. Health and well-being are dependent on so much more than three meals a day and a clean environment. Human connection is vital to overall wellness and this need does not disappear when someone moves into retirement or long term care; if anything, the need may increase. Warm Embrace caregivers provide the human connection that will make your loved one feel valued and acknowledged as a unique individual. While tong term care homes provide personal care and meals, they usually do not have staff available to slow down and visit with individual residents. The staff in LTC have a high responsibility to provide physical care for a whole floor of residents. Many residents may require assistance simultaneously. Understandably, those staff members are caring for imminent physical needs. So, while all of your mothers physical needs are met, her social and emotional needs may not be. Even though a long term care facility would appear to be teeming with people, it can be a very lonely place. Residents are living there because they have a need of some sort. As such, residents are not necessarily equipped to befriend each other and support each others needs. For example, someone who is wheelchair-bound and extremely hard of hearing may have difficulty communicating with someone who has dementia. The person with dementia does not remember to speak clearly and loudly and the person with hearing loss cannot understand and interpret what the person with dementia is trying to communicate.
