Elderly patients spend less when they choose home care over assisted living facilities or nursing home.
For seniors who live independently, staying where they already live is usually the more comfortable option.
Keeping an older adult in his or her home lessens the stressors associated with selling a home.
When you opt for an in-home caregiver, you're hiring a dedicated aide whose primary goal is to give you the care you need.
Most elderly individuals are able to maintain the same schedule, diet, hobbies, and activities as they did before seeking in-home care.
AGING IN PLACE
In spite of the potential risks, the majority of seniors want to age in place. According to a survey published by AARP, 76% of adults aged 50 and older want to remain in their current homes as they age, and 77% indicate they want to live in their communities, even if their own homes won’t meet their needs.
If you have a senior in your life, chances are you’ve had some discussions about their desire to age in place. A network of support services can make aging in place possible. These supports can range from socialization and care in the home to transportation and home-delivered meals. You need to learn what resources are available in your area that can meet your loved one’s specific needs. We can assist with your family members needs, ask us how!
