When is it the Right Time to Make the Choice for In-Home Care?

Choosing among the myriad options available to care for a loved one may leave you with more questions than answers. Home care services are the appropriate choice when a person prefers to maintain independent living by remaining in the comfort and privacy of home, but still needs the kind of ongoing care that can no longer effectively be provided by family and friends.

Whether it's an elderly relative who requires services as her capabilities diminish, a recuperating patient who temporarily needs assistance until fully recovered, or a terminally ill loved one who wishes to maintain dignity at the end of life, choosing compassionate and experienced home care can make the difference between living a joyful life, and enduring a stress-filled existence.

• Does it make sense for dad to remain in his house when walking the stairs makes laundry an impossible task?

• What happens if grandma falls? She seems so fragile. What can I do to prevent a fall?

• Will mom be lonely while I'm at work all day? Who can she talk to?

• Is dad eating properly now that mom is gone? How can I find the time to stop by every day?
