ELDERLY CARE

When looking at care options for a parent who requires assistance, home care is often the preferred choice for older adults who are ambulatory enough to stay in their homes while receiving medical and personal care from professional caregivers.

Elderly care services can help someone who is aging and needs assistance to live independently; is managing chronic health issues; is recovering from a medical setback; or has special needs or a disability.

 

Professional caregivers such as nurses, aides, and therapists provide short-term or long-term care in the home, depending on a person's needs.

 

At-home evaluations can add to a healthcare provider’s knowledge of the circumstances and home setting of the older person. This may allow them to see and address problems that are not obvious during an office visit. This service also helps older adults who may have difficulty getting out of the home because they do not have to travel to see the healthcare team.
