When families and friends come together to think of an alternate plan on what to provide for your loved one who is either sick, disabled, limited functionality, etc. It becomes an overwhelming process to think of a master plan to secure and comfort our loved ones. This can outright be mind bottling, better yet, mind wrecking in so many ways!! DO YOU NEED HELP?
We often never think nor become prepared for such a responsibility, and at times can lead us ourselves into depression worrying and stressing on whether if the right thing is being done. Sometime we have to ask ourselves, “Would we want this?” or, “Would this be ok for me?,” as we can settle with so can our family or friends who are elder and disabled. It is often how some of the ones who representatives or family members think in order to make that decision. Believe it or not this can at times work and on the other hand it won’t work. DO YOU NEED HELP?
If you are lucky enough to ask them yourselves, even better. BUT, and there is a but, there are times that you as the responsible individual must realize that your loved one may not be in their best state of mind. Competence is often at risk when is comes the elderly and disabled population where that person is no longer able to make logical decisions independently. However, it is not limited to just competence. It involves an array of limitations and restrictions from what they once knew or from what it once was for them on an everyday basis. For instance, some of the limitation and restrictions can consist of walking, talking, writing, memory, cooking, house cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, etc. The list can go on. The past now becomes a dream longed for, a daydream into the past, and wished for to be in the now. Saddening right? But it doesn’t have to be! (Depression and suicide is something that occasionally happens in certain cases and must be taken seriously.) DO YOU NEED HELP?

How Can Odin Street Parks Group, CentrePointe Home Care Services Help!
Regarding in-home care services, we must position ourselves to be in better situations, but it CANNOT be done alone.
As a home care provider in the states of MS and TX, each year that goes by an elderly or a disabled person goes without services due to unforeseen circumstances or it simply is that they are not aware of what is offered on the table for them. We can't continue to ignore a leading factor out there that the community that is often overlooked needs our help. Now that there is another contributing factor that leads towards an increase of the elderly and disabled population not receiving nor having access to in-home care services, COVID-19.
...Every year an estimated 12 million Americans who are infirm, chronically ill or disabled depend on some form of in-home care, according to the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC). Many are 65 or older and have serious underlying medical conditions, placing them in the high-risk category for severe illness or death if they contract the novel coronavirus...
Where do we go from here? Yes, we have families to care for. Yes, we need jobs to support ourselves. Yes, we must take proper precautions. And there is more...
However, as humans we have to take these situations into consideration on an everyday basis now. Grocery shopping, laundry, light housekeeping are just the tip of the iceberg that goes unattended for our elderly and disabled persons. How about grooming, bathing, proper hygienic measures that is needed? This type of attention requires more up close attention, a handson service that involve direct contact. Companies must establish proper protocol to ensure the protection for all persons either receiving the services or the ones that is rendering the service. Hand-washing, masks, gloves, etc., or any other protective equipment that can be use to help limit the potential spread of COVID-19.
...But physical distancing, as the federal government advises, is particularly difficult during in-home care, which often requires close contact for tasks like bathing, grooming and feeding. “Remember, though, the reason health care workers are going into people's homes is because those people need care,” says NAHC President William Dombi. “And those needs are still there in spite of the pandemic. If they don't get the care they need, they may end up in the ER, and that's not the place for them to be right now.” ...
