Should Your Elderly Loved One Opt for In-Home Companion Care?

It can be overwhelming and painful when you realize that the person who raised you is starting to have difficulty living on their own. When your senior loved one struggles with shopping, cooking, or even daily activities like getting dressed, you may begin to worry about their safety. At this point, it will be up to your family to decide how to proceed.

Most families consider moving their loved one into a family member’s home or moving them into a nursing home. However, there is a third option: in-home companion care. This option of care can help your loved one continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home while receiving assistance from an experienced caregiver.

Visiting Angels of Auburn’s Companion Care Helps Families Address the Most Common Issues of Senior Care

As you strive to make the best choice regarding care for your loved one, it is important to educate yourself about the different types of care. Some of the biggest concerns people have are:

Cost of Care

Senior care can be expensive, and it is important to know the costs of all of your options. In-home companion care can often be a more affordable option because care is tailored to fit the needs of your loved one specifically.

Senior Safety at Home

Most families are driven to senior care because they are worried about their loved one’s safety in the home. A free, in-home assessment provided by Visiting Angels of Auburn can help you determine whether it is possible for your loved one to safely remain at home.
