Home Care: The best option for aging in place?
It is probably safe to say: most of our elders, parents and loved ones feel safe, secure, and most comfortable in their own homes.
But, what if there was an unexpected crisis (your parent had a fall) or you have ongoing concerns about their ability to remain safely at home by themselves? How can you help your loved one to "age in place" -- that is to live in their homes for as long as possible?
Home care could be the answer.
In-home care services are often the preferred solution, offering a range of services, from grocery shopping to housekeeping, bathing assistance to medication reminders.
There are two types of home care:
- Custodial care. Also called "home care," "personal care," or "companion care," this type of in-home care revolves around help with daily living activities such as cooking, bathing or shopping.
- Skilled care. May also be referred to as "medical care" or "home health care," skilled care includes care that can only be provided by a medical professional, such as administering medication or wound care.
