This is an informative research paper issued by Home Instead Senior Care about how the old system of caring for the aging doesn’t really work any longer due to the growth of the aging population, the cost of care and other factors. The burden will often be put on other family members.
A new model must be created that involves effective aging in place, family care, senior centers, adult day care services, non-medical in-home care, and medical in-home care or home health care. In addition, independent living and assisted living facilities provide options for those not ready for skilled nursing home care or who don’t need skilled nursing rehabilitation. Even the traditional nursing home care has changed.
With all these options, it is imperative for family caregivers to understand all the options available to them to help care for their aging Mom or Dad, or other elderly loved ones.
Below is the whitepaper for you to review. It’s a great resource to help you get started in understanding the new model for caring for the aging.
If you have further questions about how to take care of an elderly loved one, the Home Instead team right here in Sonoma County can be of service to you and help you make an assessment of your senior’s home care needs. Often, skilled nursing care is not needed and non-medical in-home care can help to keep your elderly loved one living independently at home, wherever home is considered.
