Why Home Care? Benefits of Home Care
- Freedom and independence. There’s nothing more valuable than being in your own space and living freely.
- Assisting living and/or nursing homes will limit one’s freedom and independence no doubt.
- Why not enjoy your well-deserved freedom and independence in the comfort of your own home by getting home care for you or your loved ones?
- Health and wellness. Home care promotes authentic healing.
- Research shows that patients heal more quickly and comfortably at home versus in an institutionalized setting such as a hospital or nursing home setting and there is significantly less chance of rehospitalization when recuperation is at home.
- Respect for loved ones. Home care allows dignity, independence, and maximum comfort for the care recipient.
- Individual attention. Home care services are delivered one-on-one, assuring more private attention than a nursing home or a facility.
- Family centered care. Home care supports and keeps families together.
- With home care, families tend to stay more involved with the care and maintain closeness with their loved one(s).
- Personalized care. Home care can offer personalized care tailored to the needs of the family and the individual on any given day, whether that need is as simple as being a companion or more complex as in needs with personal care for cases such as Alzheimers or dementia.
- Cost-effective care. Home care is usually less expensive than costs for a nursing home or even assisted living.
- A good rule of thumb is that 8 hours a day or less of home care will be less expensive than moving elsewhere.
- Home cooked meals. A home caregiver can prepare healthy and nutritional meals specially customized for the individual.
- Safe exercise routines. A personalized daily exercise program can be implemented and followed through, with the added safety of a qualified professional such as a physical therapist being present.
- A comfortable setting. One can never underestimate the benefit and comfort of their own home, whether that be just enjoying a favorite chair or enjoying the daily cup of tea in a familiar corner.
- Rides to appointments. Home care offers accompaniment on transportation to and from various appointments, social activities or errands, allowing families more free time together as well as additional peace of mind.
- Overall satisfaction. In-home care leads to a higher satisfaction with life, even when physical frailty is an immedate factor.
