-- House Calls Health & Wellness brings our heart to your home, providing both medical and non-medical services for those who wish to age in the comfort of their own homes.
There are many benefits to aging in place. For many older adults, their independence is so important to them, but with aging comes a decline in one’s physical and cognitive abilities. For some older adults, the level of care that they require would be best served at a care facility, but for many, with a little help from professional caregivers, older adults can elect to age in place and maintain their independence. This can have a significant impact on their mental and emotional well-being.
Another benefit to aging in place is that it allows the older adult to stay in the comfort of their own home, and their daily routines. This can particularly powerful for someone with dementia as a move can often make their condition decline rapidly.
Older adults can also take comfort at home as it can be a healthier and safer environment. Care facilities do a great job of caring for and keeping their residents healthy; however, the risk of infection tends to be greater for those living in care facilities as opposed to those who remain at home.
The cost for living in a care facility has a wide range. Depending upon eligibility for government funding, as well preference to live in a private room, costs can range anywhere from $10,000 at the basic level to upwards of $100,000 annually. Aging in place can often mitigate hefty care facility costs with the right in-home support for the older adult.
