READ MOREOn average, seniors paying $5,482 for home care in Maryland Heights are handing over an additional $715 per month when compared to Missouri’s median and $525 more than the typical American.

Home care and home health care agencies charge around the same for their services, which, at $5,482, approaches the $5,627 that nursing homes typically charge for a semiprivate room. This may surprise some, but it’s worth noting home care is one-on-one and the senior may benefit emotionally when surrounded by familiar possessions. More affordable care is possible, however, such as assisted living at $4,100, and adult day care at $1,918.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes 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.

Review of Compassionate Nursing Services
Poor experience with the staff and the reliability of the nurses. Many seemed to not show up on time and did a poor quality of work. Excuses for the worst performing nurses.

They are only here on the weekends. They have been reliable. They could improve with a little bit more professional nurse aides.
