MANY BENEFITS OF HOME CARE SERVICES
Home care agencies have staff with expertise in assessing client needs and developing care plans, usually at no cost to the client.
The professional staff at a home care agency can help clients navigate the web of health care resources and effectively communicate their needs and goals to physicians, hospital staff, and nursing home staff.
Home care agency staff can also assist clients and their families with emotional barriers and concerns about accepting home care services.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HOME CARE SERVICES?
Home care is the most cost-effective health care delivery offered as there are no room and board costs compared to nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and other institutional care settings.
Home care promotes healing, as studies have shown that patients recover faster in the comfort of their homes.
Home care offers individualized services that are tailored to the client’s health care needs and finances.
Home care reinforces and supplements care from the client’s family and friends.
Overall satisfaction
Generally, in-home care leads to higher satisfaction with life, even when frailty is a factor.
Respect for loved ones
Home care, done correctly, allows dignity, independence, and maximum comfort for the care recipient.
Health and wellness
Home care promotes healing. Research demonstrates that patients heal more quickly and comfortably at home versus in a hospital or nursing home setting and there is significantly less chance of rehospitalization when recuperation is at home. (Avalere Study 2008)
Family-centered care
Home care supports and keeps families together. Families tend to stay more involved with the care and maintain closeness with their loved ones.
Personalized care
Home care (mainly paid for by private and not government funds) can offer personalized care tailored to the needs of the family and the individual on any given day, whether that need is as simple as company and conversation or more complex, as in needs with personal care.
Individual attention
Home care services are delivered one-on-one, assuring more private attention than a nursing home or a facility. There is no “waiting for one’s turn” when care is needed.
Cost-effective care
Home care is usually cheaper than the costs of a nursing home or even assisted living. A good rule is that 8 hours a day or less of home care will be less expensive than moving elsewhere.
Home-cooked meals
A home caregiver produces healthy and nutritional meals that appeal to the individual and can also keep a close eye on the amount of food eaten.
Safe exercise routines
A personalized daily exercise program can be implemented and followed through, with the added safety of a qualified professional being present.
A comfortable setting
One can never underestimate the benefit of the familiarity of home, whether that be just enjoying a favorite chair or enjoying the daily cup of tea in a familiar corner.
Rides to appointments
Home care offers accompaniment on transportation to and from various appointments, social activities, or errands, allowing families more free time together as well as additional peace of mind.
