If you are the caregiver for an aging parent, it is likely that you have heard this statement many times. According to polling by AARP, more than 90 percent of older adults report that they would prefer to stay in their homes as they age.
The concept of uprooting and having to move to a different community and adapt to a new and sometimes intimidating living arrangement can create anxiety at any age, especially for our senior family members.
For many seniors, their homes represent where they’ve raised families, where they have cultivated close friendships and communities, and in some cases, their homes may represent their life with a spouse who has passed. These sentimental feelings create comfort and an environment of peace. Leaving all of that behind for a new and sometimes vastly different environment can be intimidating and hold little appeal.

That is why we are focused and dedicated to offering in health care that allows your loved one to have exceptional care in the comfort of their own home.
