How We Assist With Aging in Place in the Lake Norman area
Aging in place is the ability to live at home safely, comfortably, and independently. Many older adults in the Huntersville area want to age in place, but struggle to do so without a helping hand. At Visiting Angels® Lake Norman, we're a local care agency with an in-depth understanding of the significance of aging in place. Our compassionate care team delivers the high-quality support elderly adults require to be able to stay in their own homes for longer and maintain their autonomy even as they age.
The Importance of Aging in Place
Nearly 9 out of 10 Americans over 65 want to age in place, according to a study conducted by AARP. When these individuals have the ability to live at home, they can enjoy a greater level of freedom than they would in an assisted living center. Living at home in a familiar environment can also help them feel more safe and comfortable. By maintaining their normal daily routines and rituals, they can preserve their sense of self and their mental and emotional well-being while dealing with age-related challenges.
In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living
It's common for families to believe assisted living is the only option for a loved one who is having trouble living independently. However, home care offers many of the benefits of assisted living without the drawbacks. Cost is one example. Personalized and professional in-home care can be delivered for a fraction of the cost of assisted living, which can require tens of thousands of dollars per year. Plus, home care often can offer more assistance with mobility than an assisted living will offer. Including gait belt assistance and Hoyer lifts.
Research has even shown that seniors who reside at home while receiving care have better health outcomes than those in assisted living centers or retirement homes. Because illnesses can spread rapidly in shared living environments, living at home can help protect seniors' physical health.
