Although home care is a popular option, there are other types of care available for those with different preferences or needs. For example, assisted living is about $400 less per month and provides a residential community with social engagement. While both forms of in-home care allow seniors to age in place for the same cost in Gulfport, home health care includes light medical services provided by skilled professionals. Home care provides personal assistance and some housekeeping services. Nursing homes offer the most comprehensive services and cost $3,120 more than home care.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
