Often times, aging loved one is entered into a long-term facility when they are incapable of managing only a few aspects of their lives, such as meal prep or bathing because they lack the option.

Home care provides the detailed services that the elderly loved ones need at home, which can significantly reduce the cost of care.

Although long-term care facilities try to offer the best experience possible, they can still fall short in many aspects of elder care; like sharing personal space (bedroom/bathroom) and having to deal with multiple caregivers in assisting with toileting and bathing.

The advantage of personal home care is that our caregivers have the privilege of building a trusting relationship consistently while receiving care in a more private setting.

Aging presents several challenges and obstacles, including losing a loved one as they age and pass away, losing the ability to drive, and losing their sense of independence.

Home care provides the comfort of being able to hold on to the things that matter the most while your loved ones are still getting the needed assistance and care needed – the familiar sense of home, the warmth, and comfort of their own bed, and the many memories left at the kitchen table throughout the years.

As our elderly loved one’s age, they face higher risks of falling due to loss of vision, hearing, balance, and mobility. In an unfamiliar facility, risks increase, including things like rugs or small steps that may not be anticipated.

Home care provides that sense of security in an environment they come to know well, which can reduce the risk of surprise, falls, and devastating and painful injuries.

The sad truth is that many elderly ones seem to lose that loving relationship with their immediate families when they move out of their home.

With home care, this gives them the ability to be able to welcome guests, invite families overnight and have loving, enjoyable conversations without interruption. They are able to receive phone calls and house calls when they desire with no limits.

When looking for a healthcare system, home care serves an important role by permitting your loved ones an opportunity to make a decision about their care. When a person has been admitted into a facility, its very difficult for them to move out if they want to do so. Choosing home care keeps options open as long as possible.
