It’s time for your family to consider your mom’s current and future care needs. You might be surprised by how easy it is for her to age at home when she has the right support services.

Virtual caregiving is a great option when your mom needs some help, but it’s not necessary to have someone with her all day. Check out all the things virtual caregivers can help your mom with.

Check-Ins

Is your mom lonely? Virtual caregivers can check in every day and make sure she’s warm enough. She has a caregiver on the video chat who can confirm her heating system works correctly.

Her caregiver ensures she’s up and starting her day using motion sensors strategically around her home. If it’s later than usual and she’s still in bed, her remote care coordinator can check in and make sure she’s okay. If she doesn’t respond or says she’s not feeling well, the person at the top of her care list gets a call.

Your mom also has a call button. If she has questions or needs help before her regular check-in, she can push her call button and talk to a remote care coordinator. She doesn’t have to feel alone until someone stops by.

Deliveries

Is your mom running low on groceries or about to run out of her prescription medication? Virtual caregiving ensures that items she needs are ordered and scheduled for delivery when needed. Your mom won’t run out of toilet paper or over-the-counter pain relievers for her arthritis anymore.

Fall Detection

With virtual caregiving, there are systems that can monitor her for a fall. If it’s detected she did fall, a virtual caregiver will check in and make sure she’s okay. The appropriate people are alerted to ensure your mom has the help she needs if she doesn’t respond or says she needs help.

If she fell and is just bruised, virtual caregivers can chat with her online until you arrive. You would get a call after paramedics are called if she fell and injured herself.

Health Surveys

Each day, your mom can chat with her remote care coordinator to see how she’s feeling. These daily health surveys can help the virtual caregiving team determine when it’s necessary to have someone stop by and help your mom out.

Medication Reminders

Your mom can take her medications each day, but she just needs a reminder to do so. Virtual caregivers can do this. They can remind your mom when to take her pill, and make sure she orders refills as needed.
