When someone you love starts to need a little more help, When someone you love starts to need a little more help, it’s natural to want to choose the right care that supports not just their needs, but also their comfort and well-being each day. For many, the question becomes simple at heart:
Is it better to stay at home, or to go somewhere new?
At Assisting Hands, we’ve worked with many families during this time of decision. And again and again, we see how much people value staying in the place that feels like home.
In-home care makes that possible. A caregiver comes to the home and helps with everyday needs, such as preparing meals, getting dressed, remembering medications, or simply offering company and conversation. It’s support that fits into a person’s life, rather than asking them to adjust to something unfamiliar.
For many people, that makes a big difference.
According to AARP, about 75% of adults over 50 say they want to stay in their homes as they age. That’s not surprising. Home isn’t just a building. It’s where their favorite mug is. Home is where they know which light switch controls which lamp. It’s where their memories live.
Of course, senior living communities can be a great fit for some. They offer a built-in social setting, onsite staff, activities, and peace of mind for families. For older adults who prefer a more structured environment, these communities can feel just right.
Still, for others, the idea of leaving home—and everything familiar that comes with it—can feel like too much.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That said, for those who feel most comfortable in their own space, with their own routines and surroundings, in-home care can be a simple and respectful way to get the help they need while continuing to live life on their own terms.
At Assisting Hands, we start with one basic question:
