Traditional home care has been around for decades past and was the accepted practice for quite some time, but this method proves to be unnecessarily expensive and in the long run quite detrimental to the health of an older person.

This model involves the administration of specified care packages at predetermined time intervals during which a carer visits your loved one to complete their tasks. Carers who work in this model are unable to provide 24-hour care services to the elderly ones.  Although this model also gets the job done, it defeats the purpose of the endeavor, which is to provide adequate care to a loved one. The care at home costs for an average elderly individual are quite expensive and given that it doesn’t offer a lasting solution, might not be worth passing other care methods over.

It is common knowledge that one of the essential features of the care industry is companionship and you would be surprised at how many more years are added to the life of your elderly one when they are paired with the appropriate companion. The absence of companionship leaves your elderly loved one with the risk of sustaining fatal injuries and in dire need of special attention, especially in cases of patients who have dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other age-related diseases.
