Homecare Services Give Seniors More Independence

As more and more people reach their golden years

, a growing trend is to use homecare services rather than move into a nursing home. And why wouldnt they? Nearly everyone would prefer to stay in their home if they could receive the type of assistance they need on a daily basis while still maintaining their freedom.

Homecare services agencies provide seniors with this level of independence and happiness because the help they need comes to them. As U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) recently said, When seniors stay in their homes and maintain their independence, they live longer, healthier, happier lives . . .

Another benefit of homecare services to seniors is that it can be provided on an la carte basis. Indeed, there are many types of homecare services that give seniors more control over their living situation, including in-home nursing, personal care, housekeeping, cooking, transportation, entertainment, and much more.

In addition to the major advantage of independence, homecare services are far more popular than those offered in assisted living facilities or nursing homes because:

* Both the senior and family members can be directly involved with treatment and day-to-day care.

* Being at home is simply more comfortable. Seniors can receive regular homecare services by trained professionals while still enjoying their own bed, kitchen, bath, television, etc.

* There are no visiting hours. Nursing homes and hospitals typically restrict visiting hours, which limits the amount of time people can spend with their elderly loved ones, especially when a family member may work odd hours. As a result, homecare services actually provide family members with more independence as well, since they can visit at all hours and whenever needed.

* Seniors typically have better morale and experience a far greater sense of well-being when they can receive the help they need at home.

* Research has shown that people recover from surgeries and other procedures much more quickly when they are surrounded by the comforts of their home, provided that the proper homecare services and skilled nursing is readily available.

* Depending on how many hours per day are needed, homecare services can be far more affordable than nursing homes or assisted living facilities.

The increasing availability of homecare agencies makes aging independently easier than ever. People are living longer, feeling healthier, and generally enjoying their golden years because homecare services give them the freedom to do so.
