Many seniors would prefer to stay at home than move into a care facility, but there are some challenges to consider: finances, physical mobility, social network, health concerns, and safety in the home. If your aging loved one decides to remain at home, discuss plans as a family and possibly with a trusted advisor. It’s important to ensure your parent(s) can live comfortably and safely at home, using various services, aids and tools to make things easier. Especially for clients with dementia, in-home care can also provide much-needed day-to-day practical and emotional support, as well as an escort on outings.
