Feeling safe and comfortable in our homes is an important part of healthy ageing. Enjoying a clean and tidy space, healthy meals, social support, a well-cared for garden and good personal care are all vital to maintaining quality of life as we age. At times, though, these necessities can become challenging to achieve independently. We may find ourselves, or our loved ones, struggling to do everything on our own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Life changes, like not being able to drive anymore, might mean it is more difficult to travel to see friends or do the shopping. A sore back or arms might make it harder to maintain the house and garden. Family living far away could result in feelings of loneliness or lack of company during the day. It is in these common, everyday situations that you or your loved ones might start thinking about getting some extra support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Often, people might wait to seek that support only after a major life experience, such as hospitalisation. Or they might think that help is necessary only in select circumstances, like not being able to get out of bed, shower or prepare food. While Home Care Services are most certainly available for these issues, they are also available for a wider range of situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Co.As.It., we are dedicated to helping our community maintain quality of life and independent living at home. If you, or someone you know, may be considering bringing in extra support, here is a quick step-by-step guide for how to get started.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
