How Do Seniors Benefit from Long-Term Home Care?

Many families assume that when an elderly loved one shows signs of advanced age-related issues that long-term care facilities are the best option. However, many seniors these days are preferring to live out their golden years at home.

Some of the benefits of receiving long-term care at home include:

• Staying in familiar settings: Seniors who relocate to assisted living facilities or nursing homes often have to deal with the process of getting used to new surroundings. For those living with neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, this can be very upsetting. However, in-home care allows seniors to remain in the home they've known for years while receiving the assistance and support they need.
• Getting to follow their own schedule: When it comes to long-term residential care, seniors usually have to follow the facility's schedule. However, seniors who receive care at home can continue to follow their everyday routine. Your loved one can eat meals when they want, set their own bedtime, visit friends and family whenever they want and more while receiving assistance with daily activities and a caring presence who will make sure they stay safe, comfortable and content.
• One-on-one care: Residents of assisted living facilities receive care from whoever is on the clock. Seniors who receive long-term care at home will be match with a caregiver who can provide the services they need and can provide meaningful companionship. Furthermore, professional caregivers can keep families up-to-date on how their loved one is doing on a regular basis for their peace of mind.
