Home Care Provides Affordable, Quality Care for Seniors! For families with seniors who need ongoing assistance, the quality of care provided is a prime concern. But the cost of senior care is also a driving consideration, especially during these economic hard times. Research indicates that out of pocket medical expenses are 2 ½ times greater for a family with someone who needs help with activities of daily living (eating, toileting, etc.) Nationally, the average cost for a  private room in a nursing home is $76,000/year. The average cost for an assisted living facility, which provides meals and nursing care is $36,000/year. Costs can vary, but families often find that home care is about half the cost, and the quality of care can equal, or exceed, that found in an institutional setting. As a result, home care is the fastest growing segment of the health care industry because it combines cost-effective,high-quality care with the comforts of home. The result is that families stay together and seniors remain independent while saving money. Home care can prevent or postpone institutionalization and promotes well being and comfort. Often, a combination of family members and hired caregivers can provide the right mix of companionship and services at a price most families can afford. 43.5 million Americans and growing areexperiencing these issues as the role of family caregiver becomes too stressfulon their everyday life. This present- day, daunting issue will only become moreprevalent as more and more Baby Boomers need someone to help care for them intheir Golden Years. A shocking 64% of family caregivers report a negativeimpact on their job performance as a result of caring for someone they love.Accordingto a 2009 report from the National Alliance on Caregiving, a full one third of family caregivers say they need help finding time for themselves, while one in four want help and information on how to choose a home care agency.
