Eldercaare Services - Home Care Services Agency Being able to take care of yourself isn’t always easy, especially as an elderly person. If you can manage on your own but need limited help then “in-home care assistance” is ideal. However, if it’s around the clock help you need, then you may want to hire a live-in care provider.  There are some important factors to consider when hiring eldercare services that you can rely on and trust. In this post, we share some important tips when choosing eldercare assistance.

How Do You Choose the Right Eldercare Services to Suit Your Lifestyle?

How Much Help Does Your Elderly Loved One Need?

If you know how much help is required it will narrow down whether your loved one needs full-time assistance or limited assistance for some of their daily tasks. Their needs may vary on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. 

Be Clear on the Different Types of Eldercare

In-Home Care Services

In-home care specialists help elderly people with daily tasks and are usually employed to stay with the elderly patient. Many of these professionals have nursing qualifications.  The tasks they do may include, but are not limited to chores within the house and running errands such as grocery shopping. A live-in care provider may also help with bathing, preparing food, using the toilet, taking medications, and getting dressed. 

Assisted Living

With assisted living, elderly people get the help they need when it comes to certain tasks like preparing meals, providing transportation if needed, and housekeeping. Many of the elderly persons using assisted living are independent.

What Will It Cost?

After you’ve established the level of eldercare that your loved one needs, it’s time to look at what it will cost to have the help needed.  In terms of cost, in-home care is always more expensive than assisted living because it requires a higher level of care.
