When the needs of our senior loved ones can no longer be met at home, we have to already consider the possibility of getting a residential care for them. Although most families would still prefer home care for seniors but we just have to understand that receiving care in the comforts of their home will eventually be insufficient as their health condition worsens.

We also understand that some people are still quite apprehensive of sending their loved ones at home because they cannot be with them all the time. Hence, today, on the blog, we will discuss some of the things that you can expect at our residential care center in Ivy Grove SC, the Harmony Residential Care Center.

In addition, we will also help you decide whether it is necessary for you to send your senior loved ones in a residential care.

What are the advantages of living in a residential care?

1. It is practical
   If your senior loved ones are already living on their own and their house is far from yours, a residential care home would be a good choice. In a residential care home, each patient is given his/her own room. They will not have any problems about meal preparations, the bills and the upkeep of their place because it is already well taken care of in a residential care.
   Moreover, they are also in a safe place, thus, their family members are assured they are in good hands. The environment is really conducive for seniors.

2. The nurses and caregivers can attend to their medication
   One of the primary features of a residential care is that they provide 24/7 care for the patient. Each patient has an assigned caregiver who will be there to assist them all the time.
   If you need someone to remind the patients to take their medicines on time, eat their meals on time or even check their blood pressure, you can have all that in our residential care center.

Considering all these factors, how then would you know if your loved ones would really need our services in the residential care center? Below are some helpful checklists that you might want to ponder on:

1. Do you think your senior loved ones can do better when they have long-term care services?

2. Is your senior patient prone to accidents especially with the household items you have in the house?

3. Do your senior loved ones require to have regular check-ups with their physical therapist, specialist and other medical assistance?

If your answer is YES to all these questions, then it would be best if you start looking for a reliable residential care center today. But if you are still quite apprehensive about it, then you can talk to us about your concerns.
