Three Reasons Why Your Parents Will Love In-Home Care

For most seniors it's not a question of if but when they will need long term care. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 70 percent of individuals over the age of 65 will require some form of long-term care. When the time comes for your parents, chances are they will love in-home care for the following three reasons.

Customizable care: There is nothing cookie-cutter about in-home care. A variety of health care professionals are available to provide everything from companionship to skilled medical care. Plus, you can choose when they come and how long they stay.

Independent living: Mom and dad would probably prefer to live in their home rather than move to a new facility, and in-home care makes that possible.

Affordable care: Assisted living facilities can be priced out of many family's budgets and to receive Medicaid coverage for nursing home care, your parents will need to deplete almost all the assets. However, in-home care offers an affordable alternative.
