For someone who’s never considered home care, but realizes that their Elderly parent needs living assistance, it can be confusing as to what is best for your loved one. Assisted living facilities, hiring a caregiver for in-home care independently, and hiring a caregiver from a reputable homecare agency all have their pros and cons. With an assisted living facility, your loved one loses what independence they have left, they must adhere to the facility’s schedule, and it’s costly. Hiring a caregiver for in-home care is beneficial because the caregiver comes to you, can work hourly or live-in, and allows your loved one to stay home in a familiar environment. Some drawbacks of hiring independently are that you become fully liable for the caregiver, absenteeism causes both you and your Elderly loved one to suffer, and there’s the issue of the caregiver’s experience and qualifications. With a reputable homecare agency, all you need to worry about is interviewing caregivers and finding one who is compassionate, reliable, and experienced. If a caregiver is absent, the agency can quickly find an emergency replacement. Check this article titled Care at Home that provides more detail on finding the perfect home care agency and caregiver.
