There is no place quite like home. This sentiment is especially understood by the increasing number of older adults who would prefer to age in place. Over the last year this desire has only intensified, as many families consider this the safer option when compared to facility living for older adults. However, questions around what home care entails, what it costs and what financial assistance and resources are available remain a barrier.
“Many seniors want to remain in their own household, and this trend has only increased during the pandemic,” said Lakelyn Hogan, Ph.D., gerontologist and caregiver advocate at Home Instead. “As caregivers and family members navigate their loved one’s desire to age in place, it’s important to address their questions about options available to them financially and how they can get help.”
