Many baby boomers who are reaching their senior years prefer to age at home rather than live in an assisted living facility or nursing home. Yet as they get further into their golden years, they may find that many daily activities such as housekeeping, meal preparation, and driving, as well as personal activities like getting dressed, bathing, and using the restroom are much more difficult than they used to be.
In the past, these difficulties would lead to residence in a nursing home or care facility, but the demand of seniors today to age in place has led to increased availability of home care services. In fact, many in the field of senior care now recognize in-home care services as the best option for those who want to age in their own homes.
