As you grow older, housing may pose more and more of a concern,
especially if your health is failing. If you are worried that you
may not be able to take care of your basic needs as you age, such as
cleaning, cooking, bathing and maintenance, then looking at your
long term health care options is an important choice. Let’s start
right away with your options.
In-Home Care
In-home health care is the best option for people who have a higher
level of fitness, and want to remain as independent as possible
throughout their later years. In this situation, home health care
nurses may come and visit you daily, or every couple of days, to
take care of your everyday medical needs. Also, a housekeeper may be
utilized, as well as a personal health care attendant, who would be
responsible for more of the day-to-day living help – such as a
companion, driver, cook or the like. In-home health care is quite
easy to locate; just contact a nurses’ association or look in the
Yellow Pages.
