Cost of Home Care Services in Los Angeles
Home care is often the most affordable form of elder care
The No. 1 objective of most families is to help their loved ones stay in their own home in a safe and familiar environment for as long as possible. No one’s first choice is to go to a facility or an institution no matter how pretty the building or the décor. For a senior to stay in their own home safely they may need just a few hours of assistance or they may need 24/7 care. An evaluation by a Caregiving for You professional is needed to determine what is best.
Don’t assume or guess that home care is too expensive
The only way you can find out if you can afford home care is to have a trained care specialist evaluate the specific personal care needs of your loved ones and develop a care plan to fit those needs. They also can evaluate how many hours are really needed given the medical conditions, as well as the availability of friends and family to participate.
Home care provided by Caregiving for You with thoroughly screened, experienced and monitored caregivers can be a life-saving and rewarding option.
