What are the advantages of moving into senior housing rather than arranging for home care?
In many cases, seniors become isolated in their homes, particularly if they can no longer drive and/or have recently lost a spouse. Senior housing provides many opportunities for socialization, friendship, and transportation while meeting the care needs of seniors. Home maintenance and yard care can also become unmanageable for seniors and those responsibilities are no longer a factor in a senior housing environment. Home care services allow seniors to remain in their home and receive companionship and care services; however home care can often become very expensive if seniors require assistance throughout the day and/or during the night.
