It’s a tough decision to make when it comes to what to do with a loved one whose health is deteriorating. There are a few options, you can move in with them or have them move in with you, you can move them into an assisted living home, or you can get in-home care to watch over them. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when it comes to making the right choice. We’ll talk about these factors throughout our blog posts but today we wanted to talk about the financial aspect of things.

Moving a loved one into a home can be extremely expensive, that is a well-known fact. However, many people don’t consider how much it costs to have a loved one live with you or to live with them. If you are planning on providing 24 hour care, then at least one adult is going to need to remain at home, which means you would be losing a whole income. Medical equipment and accommodations or adjustments needing to be made to your home can also add up fast. Having In Home Care provides a happy medium because it is more affordable than an Assisted living Center and allows you to continue to keep your original income and schedule.

Ultimately you need to do what is best for you and your family, but as you’re making a decision give Caring Hearts In Home Care a call and meet with some of our staff.
