You’ve probably met an older person who likes to say, “I can do it myself!” There are plenty of people over a certain age who are proudly and fiercely independent. They come from a generation where hard work and self-reliance were the norm.

As people age, it’s not unusual for them to end up in a senior home where they’re well cared for by nurses and staff. However, seniors would most likely prefer to stay in their own house or apartment for as long as possible before being “shipped off to ‘the home’.”

How can you help a senior citizen in your life to maintain their independence such that they can still live on their own? Peg At Your Service of Palm Beach County, Florida offers a service which gives assistance to seniors in a helpful way, as needed or everyday depending on the situation. While Peg isn’t a trained/licensed nurse, she certainly can fulfill many duties that a caregiver offers, such as driving seniors to/from doctors’ appointments. Meanwhile, Peg makes a great shopping companion for seniors. If they don’t want to go shopping, Peg can go to the local stores with a list and get the items they want and need. She can also run errands for seniors.

Oftentimes older people have limited mobility. It can be hard to stand, sit, and/or walk for a long time. Therefore, Peg does the walking/driving for them.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know you’ve got a reliable and trustworthy ally like Peg checking in on your mom or dad? Peg At Your Service does both telephone check-ins and personal check-ins.

What do you do when mom or dad gets to “that certain age” where they’re no longer able to care for themselves in a way that makes sense to you? Most likely you or someone you trust will end up helping an elderly family member get through each day.

Seniors like to maintain their independence for as long as possible. That said, if you can find a way to lend a hand that’s not making them feel like you’re trying to baby them, you can offer to drive them to doctor’s appointments, go grocery shopping with/for them, and/or help them bathe and do their laundry. Seniors can also get lonely, so even something as simple as a pleasant conversation helps enliven their day.

Oftentimes the adult children of elderly folks are very busy with their work and/or live far away from mom or dad. Peg At Your Service is able to assist seniors in and around Coconut Creek, FL, with some of their day-to-day needs when sons and daughters can’t be there. Keep in mind that Peg is not a licensed or trained nurse, but she is someone who can call and/or look in on the elderly to “check-in” with them. Peg At Your Service can also be their personal shopper or shopping companion. Do they need a ride to and from their doctor’s appointment? Peg At Your Service can do that, too.
