How Much Does In-Home Senior Care Cost?

For most senior adults, staying away from the different senior care facility options like assisted living facilities and senior communities is a top priority. Instead, they want to remain in their own homes as long as possible in their twilight years. 

However, staying at home presents many challenges all its own. Age, failing health, and mobility issues take their toll not only on the senior adults but also on their families. The older they get, the more care and attention they need. While family members are still the best care providers, as nobody can equal the love and care they can give their older adults, they will need all the help they can get. That is where in-home care for seniors can help.

One major concern for families is how much it will cost them to get an in-home senior care service. Let us find out.

Benefits of in-home care

Personal care

In-home caregivers provide personal care to their clients, such as personal hygiene, grooming, feeding, and going to the toilet. This is especially valuable for seniors with mobility issues.

Companionship

Family members are usually out at work, school, or are traveling all the time, and it can be quite lonely at home. Not to worry, as in-home caregivers will provide companionship for your senior adult. They can swap stories, play games that can stimulate them mentally, watch television together, or just be a comforting presence when the client feels so alone.

Help with medicine medication

At this point in the lives of a senior adult, medicines are a vital element to having  a full, happy life. However, with so many medicines to remember, they forget to take one or more of them.

Light housekeeping

In-home caregivers not only provide care for seniors, but they also help the elderly with some housekeeping. It does not mean they will clean the whole house, but just enough to make their client’s life more comfortable.
