Benefits of Hiring In-home Care
The benefit of hiring in-home workers is the ability for people with functional limitations to remain at home in a comfortable, familiar environment. Home care aides provide a wide range of assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, feeding and providing medication reminders. In addition, home care aides help with instrumental activities of daily living such as shopping, meal preparation, making medical appointments, transportation, laundry, and companionship.
