In-Home Care vs Assisted Living
Deciding between in-home care and senior housing can be a daunting task. Which is better for your loved one and which do they prefer?
In-home care keeps seniors safe in their own homes by providing care either hourly or with live-in services. According to the most recent AARP study – over 80% of seniors would prefer to stay and age in their own homes.
Assisted living facilities are for aging adults who need more care or a safer environment.
