People With Disabilities – The Key To Independent Living is In-Home Care

The likelihood of knowing someone with a form of disability is pretty common, whether it be an acute or chronic condition. Supporting someone at home with a mental or developmental disability is sometimes challenging and family members may deliberate over placing a loved one in a nursing care facility if their needs seem great.

Professional in-home caregivers can adapt to your family’s lifestyle while providing a range of services to adults with disabilities. The benefit of using them versus a nursing care facility is great, especially when providing effective care for a loved one seems demanding.

With in-home care, services can include personal care and grooming, companionship and housekeeping. Not only can the in-home professional caregiver provide a range of activities for your loved one, but they can also build independence for disabled adults and veterans.

There are many benefits to choosing in-home care for a disabled adult versus putting them in a nursing care facility.

• In-home caregivers will work closely with the client to develop a plan that best suits their needs. Nursing home facilities may not have the expertise in caring for persons with mental or emotional disabilities.
• In-home caregivers can manage a disabled patient in their familiar environment, adapting to what is uplifting and promising to them. Nursing home facilities are tailored to those requiring end of life care and may not provide a personal touch.
• In-home caregivers will retain a disabled patient’s family and friends relations. A nursing facility may restrict the personal relationships a patient has with family and friends.
• In-home caregivers put the disabled patient’s safety at the forefront of their care. Most nursing facilities operate on a broader patient ratio and so concerns may not be addressed as quickly as with in-home care.
• In-home care is more affordable than nursing home care, as services rendered are paid for as they occur.
• In-home care can be covered by individuals with long term care insurance.
