Benefits of Home Care Services

More than one-third (about 37 percent) of older people prefer to receive in-home care services, such as home nurses, aides, or homemaker services instead of nursing home care or assisted living care.

Homecare services are provided in the client’s home by highly skilled and trained homemakers, homecare aides, and caregivers.

Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s or dementia is often very difficult, and many family members experience high levels of emotional stress and depression as a result. This is because many family members who are caregivers have to quit work, reduce their work hours or take time off because of their caregiving responsibilities.

Although families generally prefer to keep their loved ones at home as long as possible, most people with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia eventually need more assistance than families can provide. They frequently choose to use the assistance of Abcor Home Health where professional homecare is available.
