Mercury Adult Care center offers advantages over home based care too. When seniors are home based they tend to dread going out. Yet, being at home they are likely to develop feelings of isolation and loneliness that can lead to depression. This can easily happen if the care giver has to be away part of the day on work, errands or whatever. Getting your loved one to the center is an important first step. They may actually resist this going out initially. However, once they are exposed to the activities and opportunities of interacting with others they would easily take to the lifestyle. This will assist in removing feelings of isolation and depression for many seniors.
For some seniors, with the combination of Mercury at Home along with center care, the impact on social and emotional well-being will greatly improve. Close observation of their health is also possible on a more consistent basis. |
Time to time we arrange Home visit by Mercury Staff to interact with family members to convey progress and find out about special needs. In order to qualify for this additional assistance, a client is required to spend time with Mercury staff member at the Mercury Adult Care center. This will facilitate the transition from home care to the center as your loved one will be assisted by a familiar caregiver.
