is a very true and well known saying, however, it is at times when we are feeling vulnerable , unwell or in the winter of our lives that we really appreciate and crave our home comforts and surroundings.
According to the Health and Retirement Study, as men and women age, they need more help with the activities of daily living. By the time we reach 85, 32 per cent of men and 66 per cent of women are no longer driving, and many either have limitations in what they can do, or require regular assistance.
The same study looked at the mental health of seniors. Seniors in Ireland suffer higher depression rates as they become unable to do the most basic daily activities, like driving. 15 per cent of seniors under the age of 85 have problems with depression, while 20 per cent of seniors 85 and older have depression issues. The study also showed that seniors with more severe depression usually suffered from a new illness within the next two years.
After so many years of being on their own, taking care of themselves, they now have difficulty performing even the simplest tasks. However, homecare services make it possible for people to take care of their ageing loved ones and help them maintain their independence
At Fán Abhaile Homecare Services we are implementing the latest Next Generation Software i.e. Nurse Buddy App. Which offers the management of services on a real-time platform. This application enables our staff to have a secure and reliable means of support and communication with the management centre.
This application also enables the designated family member to have an insight into care and services provided. This application is supported on a 24/7 basis and controlled within the management centre. Nurse buddy enables care providers to prioritise their client’s needs, empowers carers by making them feel more involved and more valued and enhances the relationship between the client and provider.
