Many times, an aging loved one is placed in a long-term care facility when they’re no longer able to manage one aspect of their care at home, such as meal preparation or bathing, simply due to lack of options.

By providing only the services people need at home, Extended Family Home Care can significantly reduce the cost of care and the burden for clients and taxpayers.

While long-term care facilities aim to provide the best experience possible, many aspects of care in those facilities are undesired, like sharing personal spaces (bedroom, bathroom) and having many different caregivers assist with toileting and bathing.

Clients who receive home care have the privilege of establishing trusting relationships with consistent caregivers and are able to receive care in the privacy of their homes.

Our aging population is at higher risk of falls due to being left alone often, reductions in vision, hearing, balance, and mobility. Unfamiliar surroundings can increase this risk; things like rugs or small steps may not be anticipated in advance.

By providing the assistance they need in an environment they know well, we can reduce the risk of surprises, falls, and debilitating and painful injuries.

Home care serves a critical role in the healthcare system by allowing clients more opportunities to make decisions about their care. It’s very difficult, in most cases, to move out of a facility once a person has moved in. So, choosing home care while it’s a viable option is a way to keep options open as long as possible.
