How to ensure an independent lifestyle for your parents living alone in India

If you are among those who live far away from their parents, you would constantly be worrying about making sure their life is as comfortable and independent as it can be in your absence. While the same concern is shared by your parents for you as well, age is on your side!

It could be that you are an NRI which is why your parents prefer to stay where they have settled or just that they are more comfortable living in the city that they have lived in for so long. Their social life, no matter how limited, is extremely crucial to them. And while the concern is still relevant, Samvedna Care does provide holistic elder care services in Delhi to take as much worry off your mind as possible.

Here are some of the ways with which you can ensure an independent lifestyle for your parents living alone in India:

Regular and Quality Healthcare

There is no questioning the importance of regular healthcare check-ups for those in their later stages of life. And for most children, ensuring quality healthcare for their parents is unequivocally worrying. To help overcome this, Samvedna Senior Care provides a holistic range of elder care and home care services for the elderly. What’s more, their emergency support services promise the facilitation of a speedy treatment should the emergency arise. Be it conducting lab tests, scheduling a thorough assessment every month by a physician or requesting the right elder care at home in Delhi, Samvedna Care has you covered in every way possible in regards to the provision of elder care in Delhi.

Making sure they live with people of a Similar Age-Group

It is no surprise that people of a similar age would gel better together. Moreover, people in their later years prefer to spend more time with either their families or those who they can relate more with; people their age!

It keeps them happy and active, something that makes a world of difference to the physical, emotional, intellectual and mental health of elders. 

While there are many ‘old age homes’ in Delhi, the eldercare and home care services provided by Samvedna Care are far more intimate and specialised.

Ensuring their feeling of Self Reliance and Dignity is uncompromised

The feeling of being dependent on someone is despised by almost everyone, especially by elders! To them, the ability to stay self-reliant and live capably as an individual is more important than they can explain. Not only do they associate their independence with their dignity, but they also associate self-reliance with self-respect.

However, with age comes a host of issues, and sometimes they affect the most simple and mundane of chores. Things like going to the bank or standing in a queue for paying bills becomes outstandingly strenuous. And sadly enough, sometimes there are far more basic activities that are severely affected by old age.

When elders start finding difficulty with their daily chores, which is when everything seems to fall apart for them; their confidence, their pride associated with self-reliance, all of it! Hence, the caregivers from Samvedna Care are very personal, intimate and sensitive in their act of caregiving for elders. From taking care of their general well-being to offering them intellectual companionship, these caregivers encapsulate the very essence of caregiving. Samvedna Care’s elder care services in Delhi make sure that the feeling of self-reliance and dignity for your parents stays uncompromised.

Ensuring an independent lifestyle for your parents living alone in India might seem like an extremely challenging task but, with the help of the expert care from Samvedna Care, you’d be able to do just that (no matter the distance between you and your parents)!

Sleep in the Elderly: What is Normal?

If you are a caregiver for a senior, or even just have elderly people in your life, you may wonder about their sleeping habits. It sometimes seems that the elderly don’t need as much sleep as the average person. You may feel like the elderly in your life are sleeping a lot, or sleeping too much during the day. Unfortunately when it comes to sleep in the elderly, what is normal may not necessarily be what is healthy. Excessive sleep or daytime sleeping in the elderly are all related to sleep disorders and can be helped. How Many Hours of Sleep Does an Elderly Person Need? A pervading myth related to sleep claims that elderly adults need less sleep than the average adult. It’s not quite clear how this myth began. Perhaps because elderly adults tend to nap in the afternoons and sleep less during the night. Perhaps because the elderly tend to wake up earlier in the morning, it appears they do not need to sleep as much. Whatever the reason, it remains a myth. From the mid-’20s onward, do...

Dads and Pops: Your Good Health Matters to Us 

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women. According to  Harvard Health ,  the gap is widening. In 1900, the life expectancy for women was 48.3 years vs. 46.3 for men. In 2017, it was 81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 for men. Harvard...
