  Why Use Home Care? The Independence Advantage The Possibility of Savings Why Use Home Care?In recent years, more and more elders are turning to home care to meet their personal and health care needs. This trend is particularly welcome given the fact that 
public health surveys indicate up to half of all nursing facility residents
could live independently if they had adequate home care services. Other
studies have shown that the longer people remain independent from institutional
care, the better it is for their overall physical and emotional health.
In some cases, long-term home care may require family members who can fill in gaps that the outside care services do not cover. For many people without such family assistance, it is believed that long-term home care is simply not an option. Families should not have to fill in gaps.

In addition to the
physical and emotional advantages of remaining at home, there can also
be significant financial savings. Home care can average from 25% to 75%
less than a nursing facility, depending on the care required. You save
by not paying for unnecessary services or institutional overhead. The things
you provide yourself at home -- food, drugs, supplies -- come without any
nursing facility markup.
