Benefits of in-home senior care

Image
91% of Canadians of all ages, and almost 100% of Canadians 65 years of age and older, plan on supporting themselves to live independently in their own home as long as possible as per a 2020 study by the National Institute of Ageing and Telus Health. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified Canadians’ desire to age in their own home rather than in a retirement living residence. By opting for in-home personal care, families can reduce the chances of a loved one catching a serious illness by limiting their exposure to others. The ability for seniors to age in place in familiar surroundings depends on their budget, willingness to accept help and plan ahead to adapt their home for safety and mobility as needed. There are many benefits of ageing in the comfort of your own home that supports overall health and happy ageing: Staying Independent - making decisions for yourself maintains autonomy and self-confidence. Customized Care caters to specific care needs and wishes of ageing adults and seniors.
