As your elderly loved ones and family members grow older their health care needs often increase. Sometimes it is the ongoing care and monitoring of a chronic condition such as diabetes. Sometimes it is rehabilitation after a injury or surgery. These considerations can often be traumatic and disruptive both to the elder patient and those close to them. The good new is that any number of medical procedures can be provided through elderly in home care.

## My mother is still perfectly lucid and determined to live at home as long as possible.

No one can blame someone for hoping to remain in the house they raised their family in. As we get older it is only natural to hold onto cherished memories. Although it's sometime the case that it is no longer safe for an elderly loved one to live on their own there are many many scenarios when all that is needed is regular professional medical care to look after their health care needs. It is usually not only less traumatic and disruptive but considerably less expensive than a move to an eldercare facility.

## I wish we could afford a some kind of professional to come in and take care of her on a regular basis.

Any individual taking care of an elder loved one with health care requirements appreciates that it's a serious responsibility. Fortunately, in Utah, senior care at home is covered by medicaid, medicare and other heath plans as well, so professional home care doesn't need to be a massive financial burden.

## I am uncomfortable with strangers around my mother when I am not there.

A stranger is only a stranger until you get to know them. If you are nervous with the idea of someone you do not know visiting your elder loved one at home, there is no reason why you can't be present for their visits until such time as both you and your elder loved one are both comfortable.

## How should I go about finding a really good Utah senior care provider?

It's certainly important when you're investigating elder in home care to contact and meet with a few providers. Go online do some research. Get a sense for the various senior care services providers out there, their qualifications, and their standards of operation. It's a major decision and not one which should be taken lightly. Different providers will offer slightly different services and not all will be appropriate for your loved one's particular needs.

You want the best for your elder loved ones. You want to afford them all the freedom and dignity they can possible enjoy. There may come a day when they have to give some of that up, and if if that's the case it will be a sad day for all involved. Until that day be sure to acquaint yourself with the elder in home care options available to you.
