10 Advantages of Home Care

on Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Choosing the right kind of care for yourself or a loved one can be a daunting and challenging task. There are so many options around that all have their own point of difference - researching your options can take a great deal of time and effort.

Below, we have listed 10 advantages of home care that may help you in your decision making process.

  1. The care is provided to you in your own home. This means you will feel more comfortable being surrounded by the things you know and love!
  2. Because you are in a familiar environment, the risk of falls and other injury decreases.
  3. Home care packages are now offered under the Consumer Directed Care model which means that you have more control over the personalised care you receive.
  4. Home care packages have the advantage of being flexible as your care needs change.
  5. Studies have shown that people who remain living in their own homes for longer are happier
  6. Home care is brought to you meaning you don’t have to deal with the hassle of packing up you home and moving away from family and friends
  7. There are no restricted visiting hours – you are free to live your life as normal while still receiving the assistance you need
  8. Under Consumer Directed Care, you are able to customise the type of care you want to receive along with when and for how long you want/need it
  9. Home care packages can assist you with a wide range of tasks from cooking and cleaning to grocery shopping and accompanying you to appointments and social events.
  10. Home care services are available Australia-wide. Click here to begin your search now.
