Comments for "When to Move: Transitioning from Home to Facility"

Mark Emard, RN Says:

In our local area of Texas, the monthly cost of an assisted living facility has a staggering price tag. Most families would be hard pressed to not have to sell the family home to pay for a room about 12X12. Most in home care companies will have a per-diem rate for live-in or for services over 12 hours per day. These rates are comperable to the assisted living costs. Studies show that people heal faster and live longer when surrounded by their own pets, friends, and things. As long as the person is safe at home, and wandering is not an issue, then all of the normal socialization can occur by the in-home company providing transportation to social events for seniors, church services and shopping. Home maintenance and lawn care is often available from the in-home care company. I know our company will fix leaky faucets and change light bulbs as needed for no charge. Just part of the service to keep elder adults independent at home.
