In-home care refers to nonmedical care, such as help with feeding, bathing, and companionship, while home health care includes simple medical procedures, such as checking blood pressure, or wound care performed by licensed professionals. For seniors who only need care during the daytime, adult day care costs are about half. However, the average for full-time skilled nursing care is double the cost of standard in-home care, and assisted living is about $600 more expensive on average per month and includes room and board.

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.
