    It's something my sister and I have heard ever since we were young, and somehow, my father and my mother completely agreed on this too - when they were too old to live independently (and I don't really think they expected the day would actually come), we were not to send them to a nursing home. Instead, we were to think of some kind of a pain-free euthanasia method to dispatch them. Yes, that's gruesome, but the way they said it, it seemed like it was the nursing home that was gruesome, and what they were suggesting was in fact a humane alternative. But now that they are both closing on 90 and their health is failing from a number of diseases that we all get as we live out our geriatric years, I've had to investigate the options to nursing home care. I didn't have a choice - If I did convince them to go to one, they would probably run away or something. The thing is, technology now has made elderly home care completely possible by remote control.

  There are many different elder care options available today. One option that you may want to consider is elderly home care. It allows parents or a loved one to remain at home, in familiar surroundings, and still get the assistance that they need. Often, caregivers include family, friends, or caregiving professionals that provide a wide range of senior home care services. This can be an ideal situation if you are caring for elderly parents or overseeing their care, where their primary needs are non-medical care.   In this type of setting, care can range from someone stopping in periodically, to a live-in caregiver that provides 24 hour care. Some examples of non-medical elderly home care may include: preparing meals or help with feeding, assistance with bathing and grooming, light housekeeping, assisting with medication, grocery shopping, bill paying or running errands. In our specific caregiving scenario, relative have actually collaborated to supply much of ...

  Elderly home care services are growing at an accelerated rate, and this particular industry is only poised to continue to grow as the population of the United States ages. The number of people of retirement age and older is expected to double by the year 2030, and by the middle of this century, there will be more elderly people in this country than any other age group.   While a few people are lucky and stay healthy enough to be able to take care of themselves without help for their entire lives, others are not so fortunate. With advances in preventive medicine and anti-aging technologies, the number of elderly who live alone will rise, but there will always be a need for help for those who have difficulties maintaining their independence. Family members are not always able to attend to every need of the aging parent or grandparent, especially if that person needs frequent assistance. No one wants to go the nursing home route if other alternatives are availabl...

  It is projected that nearly 40% of England's population will be over 50 by 2029 but the majority will be active and able to cope independently. However as these people age, they will become more dependent on some form of elder home care, help from relatives and possibly home care services to retain their independence. The need for elderly care at home can happen at any time and can be triggered by an accident, such as a fall in the bathroom, or it can happen over time and often the need comes to a head such as when a person has a debilitating illness for example arthritis or dementia and finally cannot cope without help.   Always get an assessment of your relative's need for elderly home care and the assistance required to help family carers. This is carried out by your local social services because the Single Assessment Process combines the assessment for local authority social services with health care and is the gateway to any home care services that may be available.
