Is Home Care Right for My Loved One?

Imagine that you were battling a chronic illness, recovering from surgery or facing challenges performing routine activities of daily living. Where would you want to receive care? Like most people, if given the choice, you would likely prefer to remain in the comfort of your own home.

Medical research supports this preference as well. Studies have shown that there's no place like home to speed recovery, improve outcomes and increase overall well-being. In fact, in-home care is a viable and cost-effective alternative to extended hospitals stays or placement in a nursing home facility for many individuals who are recuperating from an operation, experiencing a decline in mental or physical functioning or coping with a chronic condition such as congestive heart failure or diabetes.

As a true community partner, VNA is here to help you understand home care and decide if it is the right choice for your loved one. We offer complimentary consultations to address care options, identify key issues, facilitate informed decision making and create a tailored plan of care that best meets the needs of your loved one. We will even work directly with Medicare, your insurance company and area agencies on aging to determine eligibility, coverage and subsidy options.
