1) Home Care is personalized: The best reason to choose home care is because the care in their home will be individualized and one to one

2) Home Care promotes health: We focus not only on maintaining physical health but also engaging clients cognitively and socially to improve health

3) It eases burdens on the family: Family members absorb extra duties as our loved ones age and their needs grow. Our caregivers take some of this burden off the family, allowing them to spend quality time with their parent or loved one

4) Home Care allows for independence: Patients are engaged with their normal, daily routine as their health permits in familiar, comfortable surroundings

5) Home Care gives some control: Home care gives more control over the type of care they get to choose, providing them with more choices for their own care

6) Home Care is safe:  Quality home care by professional caregivers can help prevent issues that may become very serious within the home like preventing falls and reducing dementia risks

7) Home Care provides comfort Studies show that people would prefer to stay in their home. There is familiarity and comfort of being in ones own home

In summary, in-home care can be greatly beneficial to seniors and their extended family. It provides a safe way for them to remain in their home where they can recuperate or continue with their familiar life. Remaining in the home contributes greatly to overall happiness and this in turn is a strong foundation for a better quality of life and long-term outcome.
