HOUSTON EDITION

A

s we age, there are certain issues that we, or those we love, may eventually face when doing simple household chores, such as laundry, cleaning or grocery shopping. These issues tend to arise from normal changes in our physiology including lack of mobility, vision changes, and physical dexterity to name a few. With these changes, we often find that there's an increased need for help with necessities like bathing, dressing and meal preparation. When this happens, it may cause you to wonder if it’s time to hire in-home care or move to an assisted living. Irrespective of your search for a caregiver for yourself or for a loved one, in-home care could be the ideal option. Though research shows that most older adults prefer to age in place in their own home, there are many questions raised by older adults or their informal caregivers regarding home care. In this article we provide answers to a few questions you may have regarding in-home care.
