What are some of the advantages to choosing home care over moving to an assisted living facility?
Many times, a loved one is moved into a facility when the family providing the care determines the burden is too much or when there are safety concerns. Home care allows families to focus on relationships instead of the work involved in taking care of a loved one and we can be there for safety. When taking care of a loved one becomes ‘work’, our services can put the focus back on spending time together. One of the main advantages of home care is to allow the person to age in place. This means they are able to remain independent in their own home for as long as possible. Home care is delivered in the home thus keeping families together. Keeping your loved one in their home environment is a comforting alternative to premature admission to a long-term care facility. It is also less expensive than other forms of care.
