Not all in-home care is the same!

Each day in the United States, 6,000 people turn 65 years of age.  One in five Americans will be older than age 65 by the year 2030 (American Association of Retired Persons, 2003). This increase of U.S. seniors translates into a staggering increase of people looking for assistance with daily living activities.

Ask most seniors and elderly folks where they would prefer to age, and the majority will say they want to stay in their own home.  The preference to age at home along with an increasing senior population has led to incredible growth in the in-home care service industry.  In-home care is a care solution that can help seniors and the elderly fulfill on the preference to stay in their home, but not all in-home care is the same.  There are a number of in-home care options available, but before you select an individual or an organization to provide care for a loved one, make sure you research providers and ask the right questions.

Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we cover the very important questions you should ask before you decide to bring a caregiver into your home.
