Like many of us, there is no happier time than when the snow begins to melt and the birds are out singing. This is a sign that Spring has finally arrived after a long and cold winter. This is also a key time to start cleaning your home and decluttering everything that built up over the cold winter months.

When looking around the house you may find things that are out of place or in piles waiting for someone to funnel through. In reality, this is a major tripping hazard. A lot of people fall victim to these situations and this can be a bigger issue for the elderly.

In order to prevent these types of hazards make sure to remove any and all clutter. This clutter can be from items that have accumulated on the floor while not being noticed. An important place to check for clutter are the walking paths that senior citizens walk daily. Small furniture, boxes, cords, and much more can become potentially dangerous for you or your loved ones. 

Another major hazard to look out for are throw rugs. Not many people realize how much of a hazard rugs can be. If the rug is too thick there is a good chance someone will trip over it.  These rugs may also become rippled or upturned in areas that can catch feet and cause a fall. 

If you or your loved one is in need of in-home care and assistance, Caring Hearts is the right pick for you. We understand what a hazard may be, and we make sure to get it taken care of. We do not like knowing there are possibilities for our clients to get injured. Our clients are like family and their health and safety is our main priority.

As time passes our loved ones, as well as ourselves, start to age. We may start to notice our loved ones facing frailty, memory loss, as well as chronic disease. All of these symptoms can make our older generation lose their independence. Everyday tasks that use to be their routine, such as running errands, cooking, and even bathing, can become increasingly difficult.

At Caring Hearts, our in-home care assistance helps many families navigate the challenges of aging by understanding and listening to the family’s needs. We then can create a personal care plan to ensure optimal well-being for their loved ones. We cater to specific needs and preferences needed by each individual client, offering assistance, personal in-home care, and companionship to help them live their golden years in their home the best way possible.

Some early warning signs that your loved one may be in need of assistance are the following: Increasing forgetfulness, messy home, lack of nutrition, poor hygiene, falls or injuries, change in personality, social isolation, health issues, dangerous driving/ accidents, as well as second opinions.

This is a story about a man that we will call Rick Smith. He is a 95-year-old army veteran of World War Two. Rick was a tank driver during his time of active duty and received a purple heart following an injury involving explosives which left shrapnel in his head. He built a cabin in Palisades and spent many years there when he was younger. He grew up in Virginia Idaho and then moved to Pocatello. This is where he married and remains today.

He lives with his lovely wife who is 91 years old and their little dog that they adore dearly. Our Caring Hearts loving staff visits with them three times a week to help them with some bathing assistance for Mr. Smith and some housekeeping and shopping assistance for Mrs. Smith.

At Caring Hearts, we provide services for the elderly like this very deserving war veteran, so they can embrace their golden years. We want to make sure they get to enjoy their lives every day and enjoy the freedom of living independently.  We have a wide variety of services to offer, and if you or a loved one needs some assistance let Caring Hearts be of service to you.  We want to honor Rick for his acts of service to us in keeping us safe.  Please join us in saying thank you to Rick and other Caring Hearts customers who have serviced so many over the years.
