Helping Kingwood Residents to Age in Place

An overwhelming majority of the elderly population wish to “age in place”, or remain living in their own home, until their time comes to an end.  This is an admirable goal, and one we at Homewatch CareGivers of The Woodlands, can help our clients to achieve. 

Why opt to age in place?

For many, the desire to remain living in their home stems from the desire to retain their independence, both psychologically and physically.  The satisfaction of being in charge of your own decision-making and living under the domain of your own free will is often thought to be lost once you move from your own home.  Living independently can also promote physical longevity.  When a person can perform tasks independently, it’s important to continue this as long as possible.  The use it or lose it principle certainly applies as we age. Exercising the body and mind through self-performance or moderately assisted tasks is crucial for preserving one’s abilities.   

Some people have spent decades living in their home and community and feel a special bond to people and the places they frequent.  Moving into a new living situation would cause a riff in their routine and possibly harm their emotional happiness.  It’s not unusual to feel an attachment to your home and possessions, especially if someone has acquired pieces of value through travels or spent memorable years in a home they love.  Many are reluctant to leave what they’ve worked so hard to build.

Homewatch CareGivers of The Woodlands wants to help those in the Kingwood and surrounding areas remain in their communities for as long as it is safe to do so.  We provide expert care in the following areas:

• Companion care – social and emotional support and help with ADLs such as:  errands, laundry, light housekeeping, meal prep, and transportation
• Personal care – bathing, incontinence/toileting, hygiene and grooming, dressing
• Transferring and mobility assistance – assisting getting in and out of a chair, bed, shower, or vehicle
• Dementia care – providing familiarity and routines and a tailored plan of care
• Post-surgical care – medication reminders and fall prevention

What is needed to age in place?

Most people will need support to remain living in their home.  Homewatch CareGivers can give you the personal support necessary by providing compassionate caregiving services to fit your life’s needs at that time. If you have a medical procedure that requires days or weeks of extra help, we are here for you.  If you need live-in care around the clock, we can provide a dependable staff that feels like family.  Our aim is to provide a caregiver that is an extension of your family and Kingwood community.  We can help you continue to go about your life as you have in the past, providing the supervision that gives you and your family a sense of security that is so often wanted and hard to come by when family members work or have their own household to care for each day.

Before care even begins, our staff will come perform a safety evaluation to see if any alterations would be beneficial in the home - such as the addition of grab bars, bed rails, non-slip mats, or ramps, just to name a few.  Slight modifications can greatly improve your home to make it suitable for you to remain there long-term.
