Live-In Home Care
You should know that those aren’t your only options for long-term care. In fact, live-care can allow your loved one to remain safe and comfortable at home, regardless of their physical or cognitive impairments
The Benefits of Aging at Home
Research suggests that nearly 90% of American adults over the age of 65 want to remain in their own homes as they age. Even among those who require day-to-day assistance and personal care, 82% would prefer to stay at home.
Their desire is understandable, as aging in place has many obvious benefits, including:
Considering these advantages, it’s not surprising that seniors who age in place often exhibit improved levels of cognition, better functioning in daily living activities, decreased levels of depression, and lower rates of incontinence compared to older adults aging in nursing home settings.
Obstacles to Aging in Place
According to a recent survey conducted by AARP, nearly two in 10 Americans aged 70 and older say they either can’t live independently and accomplish daily tasks without assistance or find it difficult to do so
Other barriers to aging in place include a lack of reliable transportation to shop, attend medical appointments, and run errands, as well as social isolation that can lead to depression and accelerated mental decline.
