Benefits of Home Care, pt. 2
There are many benefits for seniors who engage the assistance of home care, and in-home personalized care.
Here are benefits highlighted:
— Encourages independence. Home care enables seniors to age in place while receiving help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, walking, and toileting.
— Flexible. Home care is often scheduled and billed by the hour. This flexibility allows seniors to increase or decrease care frequency as needed.
— Personalized. One-to-one home care enables seniors and caregivers to build a personal relationship. This can boost a senior’s mental health, and caregivers may be more likely to quickly identify changes in a senior’s overall health.
— Cost effective. Depending on the level of care a senior needs, home care may be a less expensive option than other care types.
— Support for family. Home care can provide family caregivers with the peace of mind that their loved one is receiving care in their absence. It may also offer family caregivers the opportunity to take a break from caregiving.
— Skilled care at home. Home health care is available for seniors who wish to recover in the comfort and privacy of their own home after a hospital stay. Medical professionals like nurses and therapists can provide skilled services such as wound care, medication administration, and rehabilitative therapies.
