What Is Home-Based Elderly Care?

Home-based elderly care is an approach in which elderly individuals receive integrated medical and non-emergency medical support in the comfort of their own living environments. Care can include:

• Health assessments and chronic illness management requirements
• In-home nursing and caregiver services
• Assistance with activities of daily living including mobility, meals, hygiene, medications, etc.
• Companionship services and emotional support
• Emergency response and medical office visits

The home-based approach provides dignity, independence, and good men at a higher quality of living. 

1. Comfort of Familiar Surroundings

One of the greatest benefits of home-based care is allowing elderly individuals to remain in familiar environments. Familiarity leads to anxiety reduction, improved quality of mental well-being, and a sense of security—particularly for elderly individuals suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s.

2. Personalized & Flexible Care Plans

Every elderly person has distinct needs. Elderly care at home provides custom ordained and person-centered plans that continuously change with the patient's condition. Whether your mother needs diabetic care or you want her to have post-surgical care or palliative care, the elderly services change and adapt as the individual's needs change. 

3. Better Emotional and Mental Health

Maintaining emotional health can depend on staying close to our family members and maintaining our social circles. As we age, we can face isolation not just because we don't interact with our family and friends, but that the care you provide is in an isolated setting compared to care at home. Home care provides interaction and diminishes loneliness. 

4. Affordable and Cost-Effective

Elderly care at home is also cheaper than living in a long-term care home facility or returning to the hospital time and time again. You're just paying for the services provided and thereby reducing the expense from a possible hospital admission.

5. Real-Time Updates for Family Members

Services for elder care have become increasingly modern in the last few decades, and companies like TruHands can help families with their technology-enabled updates. From daily reports on care to alerts for emergencies, families can stay informed and in control no matter where they are.

6. Availability of 360° Healthcare Services

The service to families has advanced to the point where you can have:

• Physiotherapy in home
• Doctor consultations
• Dietician support and mental health support
• Diagnostic tests and prescription drugs management

This all-in-one approach ensures comprehensive well-being without stepping out. 

7. Growing Preference Among Indian Families

Today’s nuclear families and busy lifestyles make it difficult or complicated for family members to provide full time care. Organizations like TruHands can provide professional support while keeping the family together.

According to a recent study, over 60% of families in India prefer home care services rather than nursing homes for their elderly relatives.
