Why Choose Home Healthcare?

Why Choose Home Healthcare?
"When the time comes that a loved one needs help at home, the process of convincing him or her to accept help can be difficult. Most of us value our independence, and having someone come into one's home to assist with such intimate activities as bathing and dressing can be a problem.
But, as our population lives longer, and our aging parents have more impairments with aging, the need for workers who can enable elders to stay in their homes increases. Most elders, if asked, would say that they prefer to stay at home, rather than move to a facility as they age. How do we keep them safe at home, when we must rely on others to provide help with activities of daily living?" (agingcare.com)


When considering the next step in the healthcare process for the elderly or disabled, in-home healthcare is an excellent option. Comfort of Home Healthcare is a company that is dedicated to providing peace of mind for all clients and their families. Comfort of Home holds their home care services to the highest standard in all aspects of business and care. Their name stands for quality and integrity that is preserved above all else. If you are considering a home healthcare agency for your loved one, remember Comfort of Home Healthcare!
The article below gives the top 10 reasons for choosing home health care for your loved one, when it is necessary to make that decision.

  • Home care is delivered at home. When we are not feeling well, most of us ask to be at home. We enjoy the sanctity of our residences and the joy of being with our loved ones. When our loved ones are ill we try to get them home and out of the hospital as soon as possible.
  • Home care keeps families together. This is particularly important in times of illness. The ties of responsibility and caring can be severed by hospitalization.
  • Home care prevents or postpones institutionalization.
  • Home care promotes healing. There is scientific evidence that many patients heal faster at home.
  • Home care is safe. Many risks, such as infection, are eliminated or minimized when care is given at home.
  • Home care allows for the maximum amount of freedom for the individual. Patients at home remain as engaged with their usual daily activities as their health permits.
  • Home care promotes continuity. The patient's own physician continues to oversee his or her care.
  • Home care is personalized and tailored to the needs of each individual. Patients receive one-on-one care and attention.
  • Home care is less expensive than other forms of care, especially lengthy inpatient hospitalization.
  • Home care is the form of care preferred by the American public.
  • Home care can prevent re-hospitalization and decrease the need for urgent care.

  2. The statement in the 2nd sentence is so true, I think any aging parent if asked whether they would like to stay at home or go to a nursing home, would pick home every time! After all they are in familiar surroundings, they have all of their memories close by, and the positive feeling of still being independent, even though you might be being taken care of by a home health care worker. There is not much more to add since you have covered a lot of the advantages of choosing home healthcare, except I would like to note that there are over 33,000 home healthcare agencies in the U.S. compared with approx 16,000 nursing homes, so you have a lot more home health care workers and inevitably more choice as well.
