Aging in place can be incredibly important to the physical and emotional health of elderly adults. However, not all older individuals have the support they need to age in place. At Visiting Angels^® Garden Grove, we're aiming to change that. 

While many seniors profess to wanting to live in their own homes, this can prove difficult for them to manage in reality. As they grow older, seniors tend to lose their overall mobility, strength, and balance. The result is that basic activities like bathing and doing household chores can become difficult or dangerous. Many seniors in this situation end up losing their independence.

Our home care services allow seniors to live at home even when they have challenging age-related needs, helping them maintain their independence for longer. That way, they can spend their golden years in the way they most desire. 

The Importance of Aging in Place in Garden Grove

Seniors who are able to have freedom at home gain a number of advantages. First, they can stay where they feel safe, secure, and ultimately most comfortable. They can also keep engaging in their favorite hobbies and social activities without disruption. These kinds of routines can be incredibly beneficial for their mental and emotional well-being in the long run.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

Living at home can also bring health benefits to elderly adults. Those who reside in shared living facilities are more often exposed to contagious illnesses that spread rapidly from resident to resident. Studies have even determined that seniors who age in place with the help of a caregiver have improved health outcomes compared to those who receive care in the setting of a shared living facility.
