Assisting with daily activities
At any age, our health and wellbeing are enhanced by regularly participating in the events and activities that bring purpose, hope and joy. For seniors, taking part in these activities can be more difficult, but it’s also more important to find a way to participate as we get older. Elderly people who feel younger than their age show less brain aging, better memory and less depression. Studies show that staying engaged is important for a senior’s mental health, but avoiding social isolation and maintaining a sense of purpose can have physical effects too. It’s important for seniors to work with their families, caregivers and health professionals to develop a plan that allows them to take part in activities they love and maintain positive mental health through activity and connections.
Light Housekeeping
Light housekeeping includes routine activities that keep a home clean, safe, and well-organized. In addition to every day cleaning, such as dusting, vacuuming, and emptying the trash, light housekeeping includes tasks like watering plants, picking up clutter, tending to laundry, and organizing closets.
Medication Reminders.
Families typically need someone to support their loved one’s medication adherence, not to physically administer the pills. Medication reminders are a nonmedical service provided by a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). CNAs do not administer medications, pick up prescriptions, or speak with a doctor or pharmacist about a senior’s medicine or regime—but they do ensure medication safety and regularity.
