In Home Care Seattle

Frequently Asked Questions

What is home care?

Home care is providing older adults with non-medical and in home care that negates the necessity for older adults to move out into a facility due to an illness or frailty that would make it extremely difficult for living alone at home. With 9 in 10 seniors stating that they would much prefer to age at home, the need for in home care has risen dramatically and has given the need for multiple Home Care Assistance locations across North America.

Why home care?

Home is where everyone is most comfortable and regardless of illness, most seniors prefer to live at home. Home care allows families to stay together and prevents the amount of stress produced when their loved ones have to pack up and move to a facility where it is hard to stay in contact. Home care also allows elderly to continue to participate in society and live in an environment that is much safer. Living in a hospital or facility can result in infections from deadly bacteria that manage to survive past disinfectant wipes and antibacterial soap while that is nearly impossible in your own home. By staying with your loved ones, caregivers are able to constantly keep watch and make sure that any needs are taken care of and done well.
