Why Choose Home Care?
- Home Care improves the quality of life. It enables individuals to remain in the comfort and privacy of their own home during times of illness, disability or recuperation.
- Home Care is cost effective. Room and board expenses of institutionalization are eliminated. Many new portable high-technology services are available at home at reduced cost.
- Home Care preserves independence and dignity. With some assistance, individuals can continue to live at home and avoid institutionalization.
- Home Care is safer. Because of the familiar home environment, there is reduced risk of falls, and also reduced risk of infection.
- The “Graying of Nations” intensifies the need for care at home. By the year 2030, it is estimated that there will be 70 million older Americans - more than twice the number in 1990.
- Home Care empowers the patient and the family. On an individual basis, patients and families can be taught about the caregiving process and how to get well and stay well.
- Home Care promotes healing. There is scientific evidence that patients heal faster at home.
- Home Care allows for more individual freedom. It keeps families together and promotes inclusion in decision-making, and freedom from regimented routines.
