Home Care: The Best Option For Aging in Place?  by ElderCarelink It is probably safe to say: most of our elders, parents and loved ones feel safe, secure, and most comfortable in their own homes. But, what if there was an unexpected crisis (your parent had a fall) or you have ongoing concerns about their ability to remain safely at home by themselves? How can you help your loved one to "age in place" -- that is to live in their homes for as long as possible? Home care could be the answer. In-home care services are often the preferred solution, offering a range of services, from grocery shopping to housekeeping, bathing assistance to medication reminders. There are two types of home care: Custodial care. Also called "home care," "personal care," or "companion care," this type of in-home care revolves around help with daily living activities such as cooking, bathing or shopping. Skilled care. May also be referred to as "medical care" or "home health care," skilled care includes care that can only be provided by a medical professional, such as administering medication or wound care.
