The Need For Greater Columbia Elder Care
What risks do seniors face without elder home care?
Older relatives may face challenges that can impact their health and well-being without elder home care services. They may struggle with daily activities, leading to poor hygiene, inadequate nutrition, and an unclean environment. The lack of assistance can increase the risk of falls and other accidents, especially if they have mobility issues. Social isolation and loneliness can also become significant concerns, potentially leading to depression and cognitive decline. Additionally, unmanaged medical conditions and missed medications can result in serious health complications. For family members, the absence of professional support can lead to caregiver burnout and stress.
