One of Our Differences – The Holistic Approach

Everyone has a different philosophy when it comes to caring for themselves as well as for others. What is Always There Home Care’s philosophy? At Always There Home Care, we use a holistic approach when it comes to caring for your loved ones. A person’s health has more components than just physical. Merriam-Webster defines health as “the condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit”. In order to be truly healthy, someone must be free from illness not only physically, but also spiritually, mentally, socially, and intellectually.

Our caregivers are given the tools to care for our clients with a holistic approach during the caregiver training sessions. During the “how to talk to seniors” portion, our caregivers are taught how to help them socially, intellectually, mentally, and spiritually. Our caregivers are also taught about important aspects of nutrition. Proper nutrition is necessary for both physical and mental health, because when somebody eats healthy and they feel better physically, they often also feel better mentally. Our caregivers also care for our clients on multiple levels when they use massage therapy and meditation as methods of care for our clients. Both of these methods can help somebody mentally and physically as they are relaxation and stress relief techniques. Meditation is often used as a spiritual method, and because the spiritual component of health is just as important as the other components, our caregivers are taught some meditation methods that they can then show our clients.

The client’s happiness, comfort, and health is always our number one priority at Always There Home Care. We believe that the holistic approach is the only approach that will get this result. Every single component of a person’s being is just as important as the others, and our caregivers are taught how to care for all of them. This is another one of Always There Home Care’s differences that makes us the best choice when it comes to the care of your loved one.
