In contrast to other types of long-term care, home care is more affordable and flexible and can be customized to closely suit your senior loved one’s needs.
Home care can empower older adults to age in place in the comfort and safety of home, rather than uprooting their lives in order to move into a nursing home or an assisted living facility.
It is also fairly simple to get help. At Care Plus Home Care, we can also provide a free in-home assessment of your loved one’s current situation, and in most cases, we can come up with a personalized care plan in just a few days. We are a fully licensed and insured company, and we make sure that each one of our caregivers goes through an extensive background check and training program before ever stepping foot into a client’s home.
Many studies have shown that most older adults would prefer to age in place and stay at home for as long as possible. Home care services are a great way to help your loved ones fulfill their wishes, in addition to still getting the practical support they need to be healthy, safe, and happy.
Home Care is convenient
Living at home unquestionably gives older adults the freedom to live on their own terms, rather than having to conform to a rigid institutional diet or schedule which includes wake-up times, meal times, and even bathing times. As a result, non-medical home care has been shown to promote a healthier and more independent lifestyle and even increase longevity. Home care can also enable seniors to stay socially connected to friends and family, which can help reduce depression and anxiety, boost overall health, and truly improve the overall quality of life for the elderly.
Non-medical home care comes with many advantages for family caregivers, as well. In fact, non-medical home care is sometimes called respite care because it gives family members the chance to enjoy some much-needed rest, on a schedule that works for them. Home care allows for easier communication and scheduling and can allow caregivers to reclaim their lives. Whether it’s full-time or only for a few hours a month, home care can give family caregivers the chance to recharge their batteries and increase the quality of time that is spent with their loved ones.
