What Is Home Care?

Personal home care services provide individuals with essential companionship and assistance with daily activities. Unlike “home health care,” you don’t need a doctor’s prescription. Services can be provided for a few hours a day up to 24/7 care.

How Home Care Works

In home care enables your loved one to live at home in familiar surroundings relieving you of worry and stress, while professional caregivers help them with daily tasks they need to maintain the independence they desire. A home caregiver delivers services that include:

  • Medication administration
  • Household chores
  • Errands
  • Bathing
  • Dressing
  • Meal preparation
  • Personalized, 1-on-1 care
  • And more…

When to Seek Services

You may be acting as a sole caregiver to a family member and have been struggling with the decision to ask for professional assistance. A nursing home or retirement home may seem like logical options, but the emotional trauma a senior or elderly person endures when leaving their cherished home can be overwhelming to everyone involved. Research has shown that seniors flourish when they remain in their homes with familiar surroundings.

Deciding upon home care is a difficult and stressful choice that involves many factors, including logistics, emotions and whether home care costs are affordable. Getting expertise and advice from a reputable source should be your first step.
