Caregivers in Houston Help Seniors Maintain Health, Wellness and Independence

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Most seniors agree: There is no place like home. When given a choice, a whopping 89 percent of older Americans want to age in their own homes for as long as possible, according to an AARP survey. Home care allows seniors to maintain their quality of life and receive personalized care services in the comfort and privacy of their own home.

Home care services have quickly become the heart and soul of health care in America, especially as this nation experiences a phenomenon described as the graying of nations. More people are living longer, and as that life expectancy is extended, they are being confronted with an increased incidence of morbidity. What this means is more people need help to stay home to be able to live more independently, and thus postpone or prevent institutionalization.

Families today are demanding better solutions and answers for long-term care than just nursing homes. The senior population:

•   Wants to control their living situation.
•   Values autonomy and self-sufficiency.
•   Prefers to age in place — at home.

In 2011, more than 8,000 people will turn 65 every day, according to the Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department. By the end of that year the senior population of America will reach almost 49 million. By 2025, it will grow to nearly 72 million.

Seniors who want to remain in their homes can often do so cost effectively with a few hours of care a week. For example, 20 hours of companionship home care a week costs approximately $1,500 a month or an average annual cost of $18,000, according to the National Private Duty Association.
