Over many years of working with seniors and their family members, we have found that when given a choice, seniors prefer home. The good news is, home care can be an affordable alternative<\/a> to expensive facility-based care. In 2013, the average cost of a private nursing home room was $258 a day or $94,170 annually*. Thus, in an effort to provide affordable care to seniors so they can remain in the comfort and security of home, Preferred Care at Home created Live-In Care<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our Live-in Care provides 24-hour peace of mind for seniors and their families. This senior home care option may be exactly the care you are looking for. Here are a few reasons why seniors choose Live-In Care:<\/p>\n

1. Fear of Falling.<\/strong> Many seniors are still active, yet a fear of falling prevents them from confidently being as active as they would like. With the Live-in Care option, a caregiver is by your side, giving seniors the confidence they need to stay active.<\/p>\n

2. Fear of Being Alone.<\/strong> Depression<\/a> often goes untreated in the senior population and loneliness is far too common. With Live-In Care, senior have a constant companion in our experienced and compassionate caregivers.<\/p>\n

3. Trouble Remembering Medications.<\/strong> Having a Live-in caregiver present to ensure that medications are remembered provides peace of mind to seniors and family members.<\/p>\n

4. Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.<\/strong> For those who are dealing with memory loss, it is often most comforting to remain in a familiar environment.<\/p>\n

If you or a senior loved one relates to any of the above reasons for wanting senior care, our Live-In may be for you. With prices starting as low as $8-12 an hour, depending on location, Live-In Care is not just more desirable to facility care, it is more affordable.<\/p>\n
