Nursing Home Vs. Homecare

Be confident in the path that you choose.

Move Forward with Confidence

Families often struggle with whether to place their elderly loved ones in nursing facilities or to care for them at home. If you’re facing this difficult decision, you aren’t alone. At Housen Homecare, we’ve faced the same choice, and we want to empower you to move forward with confidence.

Homecare

As senior citizens continue to become one of the fastest-growing segments of the American population, the Center for Disease Control has emphasized “Aging In Place” and the need to allow aging members of society to remain in their own homes. Aging in Place studies indicates that more than 90 percent of people over the age of 65 prefer and intend to live independently as they age. This makes a lot of sense when you look at the benefits that homecare patients enjoy, including:

  • Higher recovery rates and lower mortality rates compared to those nursing homes or long-term facilities
  • Enhanced quality of life thanks to nearness to loved ones and engagement with a community
  • Affordable care costs and exceptional care plan flexibility

Nursing Home

Nursing homes have been a popular option for elders for a few reasons. A variety of medical professionals are usually found in a nursing home and specialize in specific medical areas. These medical professionals care for your loved one around the clock throughout the year. Additionally, nursing homes can be secure for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia who might be prone to wandering. They also provide additional overall security.

Although there are some drawbacks to nursing homes, for example, they remove an individual's independence and make your loved one "feel" old or even abandoned. Furthermore, nursing homes require a transition period before feeling like "home," which can be difficult for some seniors. Nursing home care is often costly, especially for high-quality institutions compared to homecare.
