While the vast majority of seniors find aging in place to be preferable to living in an assisted living facility, those without access to in-home care can have difficulty maintaining their well-being at home. At Visiting Angels^® Long Beach, we offer professional in-home care services for elderly adults who want to enjoy the benefits of living in a secure, comfortable, and familiar environment throughout their golden years. Our caregivers provide compassionate support to assist seniors with daily challenges stemming from dementia, mobility issues, and other age-related concerns.

The Importance of Aging in Place in Long Beach

It’s easy to understand why most elderly adults want to live at home. Staying in the place where they’ve built a life for themselves allows them to continue calling the shots about how they spend their time. They can engage in those small daily rituals that bring them joy, whether that’s eating dinner at a certain time of day, playing cards with a neighbor, or taking a walk around the block at sunset. This kind of autonomy is crucial to seniors’ emotional well-being as they age and is often overlooked when care decisions are made for them.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

Unlike life at home, life in an assisted living community often comes with a dictated schedule and more structured lifestyle. As a result, seniors can lose a significant amount of independence with a move to a shared living facility. Unfortunately, they don’t always experience better health outcomes for making this sacrifice. Because contagious illnesses can spread rapidly in these kinds of environments, seniors who receive care in a shared setting tend to have worse health outcomes than those whose care is delivered at home.
