According to AARP, almost 9 out of 10 older Americans would prefer aging in place to moving to a senior care facility. However, to make this possible, many need a helping hand. If your loved one in the Memphis area wants to remain at home as they age but finds independent living to be a challenge, our professional caregivers are ready to assist them.

At Visiting Angels^® Memphis, our approach to care is compassionate and understanding. We realize how significant it is for seniors to have the opportunity to extend their years at home. You can rely on our team to go above and beyond to help your loved one fulfill their dream of aging in place and living the life they envisioned for themselves in their golden years.  

The Importance of Aging in Place

Having the freedom to live life on their own terms at home brings along a number of benefits for elderly adults. Those who age in place can maintain the daily routines and small joyful rituals they have established for themselves over many years. This consistency can play an important role in their mental and emotional well-being. Aging in place also allows seniors to remain in familiar surroundings filled with pleasant memories.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

Many families who are considering home care are trying to decide between in-home care and assisted living. While these two care types do have some commonalities, on the whole they are drastically different. For example, both types of care enable seniors to benefit from professional support. However, in-home care is delivered in the comfort of seniors' own living environment, while assisted living requires a move away from home.

Cost is also a factor to consider when choosing between the two. Assisted living centers charge upwards of tens of thousands of dollars per year. In contrast, in-home care can be affordable and can be easily tailored to suit the budgets of most families in the Memphis area.
