 Athulya Home Care’s main aim in honoring International Day of Families is to increase awareness of the value and importance of family. Family is important because it provides support, protection, and unconditional affection

They will always search for and bring out the best in you, even though you are unable to see it by yourself. They also help us in getting through the worst and best situations.

Home Nursing care is a type of senior care that allows to assist seniors with daily life tasks in the comfort of their own home. This can involve assistance with washing, grooming, clothing, eating, and other personal care activities.

 Why do Senior citizens prefer home care?

➢    We all want to be in environments that make us feel secure and comfortable, and that is precisely what home provides.

➢    The elderly require care and comfort in order to live a healthy life free of anxiety and stress. So they prefer home care due to familiarity, security, independence, and home nursing to provide a greater quality of life.

➢    They are able to sleep in their own bed, use their own restroom, and continue their everyday lives at home care services.

➢    Moving the elderly to a nursing home means removing them from most. Although they will meet new people in a nursing home, it will not be the same; outside of visits from loved ones, the life-long relationships they've developed with those who are dearest to them will not be present.

 Why Home care is a blessing for seniors?

It's a blessing because Seniors can able to spend the rest of their life with their beloved ones and in a house that is full of memories.

➢    Moving away causes both physical and mental issues, and many seniors are scared of leaving loving neighbors and a family

➢    Seniors are most concerned about losing their liberties and independence. They want to complete their daily activities on their own time, not when their family or caregivers tell them to.

➢    All hospitals and nursing homes have visiting hours that may limit family and friends' ability to come and go whenever they wish.

➢    Senior's mental health gets better when they are surrounded by things they recognize, such as photographs, furniture, and their own bed. Being at home allows your elder to feel loved and cared for.

➢    Knowing that they can be discharged from the hospital and continue their treatment at home often helps them heal quicker while remaining in their care.

➢    Seniors who have home health care providers assist them with daily routines can keep their freedom while yet obtaining the necessary assistance.

➢    Nowadays, it is not rare for people to reside in different places. This might be challenging for elderly parents or grandparents who live alone as they age. Home care allows them to have someone around to help them with everyday routines, preventing them from feeling lonely all of the time.

➢    One of the easiest parts of elder home care is the possibility to build a personal relationship with one's companion. This may instill trust and support in them, especially in challenging times.

➢    Many advantages accumulate for patients who can participate in their own care and treatment. Being at home allows the family to be involved and informed of the care plan, allowing them to give assistance as required.

All they need is survival needs, a sense of security, a dignified life at home and in society, and proper care and medication.

Seniors truly require a lot of emotional assistance after they have matured and their physical, mental, and even economic opinions have changed, making them dependent rather than autonomous.
