While aging in place may be the preferred living situation of seniors, many find it challenging to remain at home without outside support. However, your loved one in Clarkston does not have to move away from home to receive the care they need and deserve. The high-quality caregivers at Visiting Angels^® Clarkston are available to support elderly adults throughout the local area who need a helping hand around the house, supervision, and companionship. 

The Importance of Aging in Place

Aging in place can be important to older adults' physical, mental, and emotional well-being. A recent AARP report has even shown that nearly 9 out of 10 adults over 65 want to age in place. Remaining at home can help seniors feel more secure and comfortable, as they can continue to live in surroundings that are tailored to their preferences and hold precious memories. Furthermore, when they live at home, elderly adults can continue with their normal daily rhythms and engage in those small daily rituals that help them maintain their sense of self.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

To receive care in an assisted living center, seniors must uproot themselves and leave the home environment they've grown to love. This process can be traumatic for them and often results in a loss of autonomy over how they spend their time.

Moving to an assisted living center can also have a negative impact on the health of elderly adults. Contagious illnesses are known to spread quickly in shared living facilities like assisted living centers, senior care communities, and nursing homes. Thus, remaining at home can allow seniors to avoid coming into contact with certain contagions.
