Why Elderly Care at Home Is Most Preferred Nowadays

At Home Elderly Care - First Preference Today

Today an increasing number of senior citizens, well past age 65 years and above are expected to live longer thanks to better medical care and health awareness. As they age and when circumstances get tough and challenging, most seniors are not keen to go to nursing homes or assisted living homes. They prefer to live at home independently, albeit with a compassionate and capable elderly care provider amid familiar surroundings where every stone and brick holds blissful memories of a past happy and dear to them.
 

Staying at home healthier & happier choice

Elderly care takes time and effort. As a family car       egiver, there may be days when you have not been able to devote time to your elder. But you do not wish your beloved elder feel neglected or ignored. Having someone to provide live-incare can make all the difference in making life easier and more comfortable mutually. A sympathetic, sensitive and sensible caregiver from a reputed agency providing thoughtful and appropriate healthcare can bring comfort and stability to your elder and mental peace to you.

Nursing homes - not a preferred choice

Whether young or old, it can be humiliating to be in need of support.  The elders often feel irritated with their frailties. It is a not wise to decide arbitrarily that your senior leaves home and lives at a live-in care center/nursing home in a new locale with strangers.  To go to new, unfamiliar places may frighten them, create tension and add to their stress levels. Additionally at nursing/assisted living homes, seniors are expected to follow orders; loss of freedom can make them feel discontented and unhappy.

What are the benefits of home care?

Live-in care for the aging seniors assures a number of benefits like

• More Independence & freedom to live life as they like
• Assures privacy - especially for personal care tasks
• Continued dignity and self-respect
• Ability to live with family in familiar surroundings
• Do your activities the way you/senior wants, at a time suitable to you both.
• Totally customized for your needs.

Personalized elderly care at home keeps the elders happier and healthier, reducing disease, depression and discontent.

An economical choice as well

Moving seniors to nursing homes may look like taking away all your responsibilities/worries totally. Suddenly you seem to have a lot of freedom. But this may come at a tremendous cost. Apart from destroying the seniors’ routine ruthlessly, financially it may be more expensive. At home, the senior has his/her own room with bath facilities whereas such a private single room may cost enormously. Moreover, he/she may not be the same facilities and less choice to more actively participate in their lives.
