Understanding Home Care

An important component of a family's plan for their senior loved ones to remain at home.

Most seniors desire to age in the comfort of home. In-home personal care from a professional home care agency can be an important component of a family's plan for their senior loved ones to remain at home. The home care industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade as the aging population has expanded and medical advances continue to extend the life expectancy for that group.

Personal care at home is a service designed to assist aging adults with their basic activities of daily living. Those activities include bathing, dressing, incontinence care, transferring and ambulation, and eating. Care is provided by certified or licensed home care professionals such as personal care attendants and certified nursing assistants employed by non-medical home care agencies. These agencies coordinate all aspects of the care provided under a detailed care plan designed to address specific activities of daily living and other assistance needed in the home such as light housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, errands and pet care.

In-home care is normally paid for privately and is not covered by traditional Medicare or other medical insurance coverage. Long term care insurance may also cover the cost of in-home care, but most families pay out-of-pocket for this service. For those that can afford to pay for in-home care, whether privately or with help from a long term care policy, in-home personal care can have a tangible impact on the quality of life of aging seniors.

Consistent care in the home provides great assurance and comfort not just to the individual receiving care, but also to the extended family and adult children, many of whom may not live in the same community as their aging parent(s). While the cost of in-home care is not inexpensive, it can often be less than the cost of a full service retirement community and is targeted to the specific needs of the care seeker. Home care agencies also offer flexible scheduling including overnights, weekends, and visits ranging from four hours a day to around-the-clock care.
