Benefits of Home Care Services in New York City
Unlike other types of long-term care, home health care empowers individuals to lead healthier, happier lives in a familiar setting by providing assistance with everyday tasks that might prove difficult due to illness or injury.
Recipients of home health care often enjoy a number of benefits that contribute to a higher quality of life when compared to those receiving care in assisted living facilities. These include:
- Comfort in a familiar setting: A client’s long-time home is often a place of security and comfort. Home health care allows a client to remain in a familiar setting with established routines and privacy.
- Continued independence: Home care services can be tailored to a client’s individual needs and goals, providing support where needed while allowing the client to remain as independent as they wish.
- Reduced stress, anxiety, and uncertainty: Moving to an assisted living facility or other group care setting can be extremely stressful as they are introduced to a new community and may no longer be able to pursue activities and routines they once enjoyed. Bringing a home caregiver to a client’s residence allows for the same level of support without a feeling of being uprooted from a familiar setting.
- Flexibility and customization: Home health care services can easily be adjusted to account for a client’s unique needs and goals, allowing for a more personalized plan of care than those in an institutional setting.
To learn how we can help you or a loved one, call SelectCare and speak with a home health care expert. Together, you can discuss a prospective client’s current living conditions, challenges, and how home health care can help overcome those challenges.
From there, we will schedule a free, in-home, RN needs assessment visit that will inform the client’s unique plan of care.
