What is the difference between in-home care and assisted living?

Can you explain the difference between in-home care and assisted living?

Sure! In-home care provides support in the individual's own home, while assisted living offers a community setting with shared facilities.

What types of services are typically included in in-home care?

In-home care can include personal care, meal preparation, medication management, and companionship.

And what about assisted living? What services do they provide?

Assisted living facilities usually offer meals, housekeeping, social activities, and assistance with daily living tasks.

Which option is more cost-effective?

In-home care can be more affordable for those needing minimal assistance, while assisted living may be better for those needing more comprehensive support.

How do I decide which option is best for my loved one?

Consider their level of independence, health needs, and personal preferences. A consultation with a care advisor can also help.
