Ambulation Assistance
With age comes the inevitable loss of movement, and when that happens, a senior citizen may require help getting around. A person who needs help getting up and moving around is said to “ambulate with assistance,” which suggests they need an extra hand to get on their feet.
People who have been hospitalized for an extended period, such as those recovering from surgery or those with a chronic disease, require ambulation assistance the most. This is because a long period of inactivity, such as that required for surgical or prolonged medical treatment, can cause the body to stiffen, lose strength, and even undergo atrophy (muscle waste).
It’s important to remember that ambulation is not easy, and sometimes multiple people are required to transport the patient safely. It takes at least three people to safely transport an elderly person. The extra equipment may be required to help the senior patient walk. This is why you should hire a trained professional, like our compassionate caregivers, for the job.
Service Above Self Homecare and Staffing offers extensive training for its senior caregivers in a wide range of in-home care services, including ambulation assistance. Our team has the resources and skills to assist seniors with various medical issues as well. When family members lack the knowledge or time to properly care for an elderly loved one, they can rely on our home health care services to help.
An in-home caregiver can help a senior with everything from preparing a meal to keeping track of their medications. Home care providers also offer invaluable companionship to their senior clients.
