Care in the Home: As It Was Then and Now

By Bruce Weaver, MPA, PA-C, President & CEO, AAging Better In-Home Care

Various types of senior care communities (Assisted Living Facilities, Alzheimer’s Care Facilities, Independent Living Communities, etc.) are popping up in cities and towns across North Idaho. But they aren’t the only choices when it comes to arranging care for you or a loved one who can no longer carry on the normal activities of daily living. Many seniors and disabled prefer to stay (or even pass away) at home, and thanks to Home Care and Hospice agencies, staying in the comfort of one’s own home while they “age-in-place” or pass away is now a far more preferable option for many seniors.

Nurses have been visiting sick patients in their homes for over a century and doctors used to make house calls (a practice that is slowly making a comeback here in our area), but it wasn’t until the 1950s that organized Home Care agencies, still comprised of nurses only, became a major player in the health care sector. Up until that time, nursing homes were essentially the only option for those individuals that were disabled or too aged to care for themselves. In 1965, provisions for Home Care were included in Medicare and Medicaid legislation and Medicare is even now considering expanding those services that have traditionally been paid for by state Medicaid programs.

Despite its early origins, receiving services at home is still one of the newer senior care options available today. However, many families and seniors are still unaware that agencies exist across North Idaho that can provide such services. As many older adults choose to age-in-place, and costs for nursing homes continue to increase, hiring a Home Care agency to provide caregivers in the home will continue to be an increasingly popular option for senior care.

A number of the larger Home Care agencies provide caregivers in all five North Idaho counties while others only serve one or two counties. Doing an on-line search by putting in “Home Care” and “North Idaho” will bring up virtually all the agencies in our area. Or referring to the Yellow Pages (under “Home Care”) will bring up most agencies serving particular towns. With the right match, seniors and the disabled can experience the benefits of cost, comfort and safety that make in-home care such a valuable option today.
