Home Care for Seniors: Aging in Place
“Supported Home Care assists adults and seniors with maintaining an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home.”
What is Supportive Home Care?
As your loved ones get older, aging in place means staying in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible, rather than moving into a retirement or long-term care facility. Supportive Home Care may be a viable option if loved ones only need minor assistance with their daily activities, and have family and friends nearby.
By exploring the options of Supportive Home Care services, families can decide if “aging in place” is the best way for loved ones to maintain their independence, and make the most of their golden years.
Independent Living at Home
Supportive Home Care programs allows disabled children, adults and the elderly to be as independent as possible in the familiar surroundings of their own home. While it might be hard to accept, many of us may require some type of care assistance after the age of 65. Loved ones might be used to handling everything themselves, or relying on family members for minor help around the house. But as they get older and their circumstances change, getting around or taking care of themselves can become more and more difficult.

Is Supportive Home Care for your Loved One?
It’s natural to want to stay at home as you grow older. The familiar can be comforting as we face the losses that inevitably come with aging, and your home is likely filled with fond memories, and your neighborhood with familiar people. However, taking a step back to look at the big picture can help you decide whether Supportive Home Care is the right step for your loved ones.
Too often, decisions to leave home are made abruptly after a sudden loss or health crisis, making adjustments all the more painful and difficult. Earlier planning and examining which home care services are available can make it easier to make the choice that’s right for both you and your family.
