When it comes to nursing homes and elderly home care services, there are a lot of similarities. However, there are also many differences between these two programs designed to help older people who just can’t live on their own completely anymore. Home care services are effective when a senior citizen is still able to live independently and just needs someone to check in on them from time to time. These services are also ideal for capable adults who simply do not wish to leave their home and enter a nursing home or assisted living facility.

 

 

 

Nursing homes are typically stale environments that don’t allow people to have the space and independence that they deserve. Of course, there are a variety of assisted living facilities that offer an intermediary between home care services and nursing homes, but they are still not appropriate for everyone. Basically, you can expect the following with nursing homes and in home care services:

Nursing Homes:

 

-24-hour care

-Medication monitoring

-Medical care

-Therapy

-Daily assistance with tasks and living

-Meals

-Activities

 

 

-Personalized care as often as needed, up to 24 hours

-Medication monitoring and dispensing

-Therapy services

-Help with daily tasks and activities

-Meals and housekeeping services

 

 

 

As you can see, a nursing home and home care service can offer a lot of the same benefits to elderly people who need a little help. However, the most basic difference is that home care is ideal for people who can still get by on their own without constant medical support or treatments while nursing homes are the right place for people who need 24 hour care, including medical care, and who cannot completely function on their own anymore.

 

 

 

It’s never an easy choice to determine what type of services you want for your loved ones, but you have to do what is best for them. A nursing home is usually the last opportunity for an elderly person to enjoy the rest of their life, but it can be a good place contrary to popular belief. In-home care, on the other hand, is seen as more of an intermediate step in helping elderly people remain independent and in their own homes. Whenever you are going to choose one of these services for your loved ones, it is important that you take the time to do the research and find the best solution for the person in question.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The things that matter most and nobody can destroy – like true love, and faithfulness. Heartfelt, sacrificial care. No matter what. Even during an eclipse. Eclipse is a noun (SUN ) /ɪˈklɪps/ [C] when the sun disappears from view, either completely or partly, while the moon is moving between it and the Earth, or when the moon becomes darker while the shadow of the Earth moves over it. Eclipse is not only the title of the upcoming third movie in the Twilight Saga, but also the name of this new short film dealing with the darkness that comes in the wake of war. To many with their broken hearts the songs of war are very sad indeed, the saddest songs ever, making men and women cry, but there is hope, there is a way, to wipe the tears away.
