Aging in place refers to the ability of any person to grow old in their own home or that of their family. It is the opposite of institutional residential care like a nursing home. Sometimes it may mean the ability, with extra help, to stay in an assisted living facility as well.

Yes. People sometimes discover that the assistance provided in an assisted living facility is not sufficient to enable them to remain independent. In these cases, Ease Of living Services provides a qualified caregiver to make this possible. In some states you are allowed to hire private help in an assisted living facility – or nursing home.

After you receive your home care assessment, we will place you with a caregiver 

of your choice.

In-Home care is a more private option that allows your loved one to remain in their own home. This is often less disruptive and more engaging, making it the first choice for many families. Couple that with the rising costs of nursing home facilities, and it's understandable why in-home care has become the preferred option for many families.

Before deciding between the benefits of in-home care vs. a nursing home, there are several things you'll want to think about:

• Ask your loved one about how important it is for them to continue living at home.
• Speak with your loved one's physician about what level of caregiving is needed.
• Determine whether your loved one requires specialized caregiving, like Alzheimer's care.
• Calculate your budget for caregiving services or residence in a care facility.
• Get detailed information from local in-home care companies and assisted living centers.

When someone thinks about home care, they assume home care and home health care are the same, but that is not the case. This can make it confusing for families searching for the right type of care – and the right care providers – for their loved one.
