Whatever your loved one may need to maintain their well-being while aging in place, our services can promote their quality of life at home.

The Importance of Aging in Place in South Shore

The fact that almost 90% of Americans over the age of 65 desire to age in place shows just how important it is to seniors to stay at home and retain their independence. It is certainly understandable why aging in place is so crucial to seniors' well-being. After all, doing so gives them the opportunity to enjoy familiar routines and surroundings, which can make a huge difference in how they feel on a daily basis.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

In-home care and care in an assisted living center may be the two forms of care your family is considering for your loved one. These care types differ in a number of ways, from their cost to their flexibility and the comfort they offer for seniors. With in-home care, your parent or elderly relative can make choices about how they spend their time and how they want their daily routines to look. In contrast, assisted living will require them to change their habits to fit with the demands of the care facility, which can cause a lot of friction in your loved one's life.
