There are many benefits of in-home care for seniors. Here are just a few.
Comfort
The number one benefit of home care is being in a familiar environment, which is the most comfortable place to be. Having your own bed, bathroom, and trinkets is preferred. In-home care allows daily routines to continue, with the assistance needed.
Personalization
Whether your loved one only needs assistance for a few hours a day or requires full-time live in care, home care is flexible and adapts to what is best for each client. One on one attention is highly preferred.
Cost Effectiveness
It is usually cheaper to have help at home and hours can be more flexible. You can check into insurance and see what is offered, but in-home care is significantly less expensive than facility care.
Peace of mind
It is so nice to know that you don't have to worry about your loved one. Worries about falling or injury are reduced and knowing that your family member has assistance is wonderful.
Companionship
Companionship is a huge benefit. Just having someone to talk to go quell loneliness and increase brain stimulation. Relationships are often formed and both members ultimately benefit.
