about their parents' ability to manage delicate financial matters, plan and
prepare meals, and correctly take medications. Initial concerns regarding a
parent's mobility and ability to manage self-care (hygiene) may be supplemented
over time by further problems. Family members frequently consider nursing homes
a potential solution when these situations arise. Dementia
and Alzheimer care is the best choice.Here are a few advantages of
senior care provided in the home:Dignity: Staying at home often
provides the clients with a certain sense of pride that would be lost if they moved
to a nursing home.Continuity: Not having to move
provides the clients with a sense of continuity, which can be a source of
comfort. Having to learn a new environment in a nursing home can be
overwhelming.Family: For family members,
having Mom or Dad or Grandma or Grandpa remain in the family home can be very
comforting. The family can continue spending time together in their own house
without relying on recollections.Tranquility: People treasure peace more than
other comforts as they age. It can be annoying to hear beeps and dings from
medical equipment or disturbances from nearby residents in an in home nursing
care centers. At home, the clients enjoy the environment they created and
have enjoyed for years.
