How does home care compare with assisted living and nursing homes in terms of service?
Non-medical home care is designed for individuals who need help with activities of daily living (see the Services section), but do not need nursing care. When nursing care is required, a visiting nurse or skilled nursing facility are good options. Home care is key if the client wants to be in their own familiar surroundings and could benefit from one-on-one attention. Assisted living facilities and nursing homes have a higher ratio of staff to residents, so individualized attention is not possible all the time. Some clients become frustrated, uncooperative and withdrawn when they move into a facility because they miss the companionship, gentle touch and personal attention they used to get at home. Orange Grove Home Care can provide companionship to clients in any setting to complement the services provided by the assisted living or nursing care facilities.
