Assisted livings and nursing homes are no longer your only option.
It used to be that when you wanted professional help to care for your loved one, you had to put them in either an assisted living facility or a nursing home. Today, you have more options, and your loved one may even be able to get the care that they need at home. Although the community and social aspects of a retirement community are wonderful, many people prefer to stay at home, and that’s okay. Leaving home isn’t easy, but luckily, with in home care in Chapel Hill, your loved one doesn’t have to! And you will be glad to know that in home care comes with many incredible benefits, and the following is a list of just a couple of them:
#1. Reduced Stress
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, it isn’t easy to leave your home, especially if it has been your home for years and you raised your family in it. Not only does moving your loved one to a community require them to say goodbye to their home, but it often also means downsizing their possessions, many of which are attached to memories that bring them joy. Making the move to a facility is very stressful, and when your loved one is able to receive the care that they need at home, that stress is virtually eliminated.
#2. Personalized Care
No matter how well staffed a facility is, they still have many residents that they have to care for, which cuts back on the time they can spend with your loved one. With in home care, your loved one is the one and only person who is being cared for, and therefore, they get more personalized care, attention and companionship.
