The Challenges of Senior Living for Elderly Couples

When one partner needs more care than the other can provide, it can pose a serious dilemma for the family. The healthier of the two tends to overtax themselves trying to take care of their partner. This can increase health issues for both partners and can lead to serious problems.

As Americans are living longer, many seniors are finding love later in life. Couples rarely want to be separated. They thrive on the companionship of their spouse or significant other. However, many residential care facilities do not make accommodations for couples. If both partners require assistance – but perhaps differing types or levels of care – this can further complicate the issue. Even when residential care facilities accommodate a couple, differing care needs are generally handled in different areas of the facility.

Cost can also be an issue. Two people in a residential care facility can quickly become cost-prohibitive

Why In-Home Couples Care Can Be Critical

Keeping senior couples together for as long as possible is good for both partners. Research has shown that both the emotional and physical well-being of coupled seniors is dependent on the other’s health. A decline in physical abilities and an increase in depressive symptoms have been linked to the compromised status of their partner’s well-being.

Older couples have established routines. They may or may not share a bedroom. They may have personal spaces in the home where they seek solace or alone time. They may be deeply ensconced in their personal routines, adding an extra layer of complexity.

Senior couples can also have different interests. To keep them together yet maintain the partners’ joint and individual status quo, in-home care provides a uniquely effective solution.

Choosing a Senior In-Home Care Provider for Couple

Although many home healthcare services offer in-home care for seniors, not all of them can or will provide couples’ care. In Rockville, Comfort Home Care can assist your senior family members with the activities of daily living. We also offer memory care, including Alzheimer’s and dementia care.

Bringing in care at home for senior couples can help keep your loved ones safe, happy, and healthy. We tailor our senior home care services to the needs of our clients. As the premier Rockville home health care agency, our services provide comprehensive, person-centered care that respects the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
