home-health-care-vs-assisted-living

We all want what’s best for our elderly loved ones. That is why when it comes to deciding what type of Healthcare Services Care in Arizona is right for them, you need to be wise and consider a lot of things first.

You should evaluate the care needs of your loved ones and determine which area they need assistance more. There will always be two options that you need to choose — will they be satisfied with Home Health in Phoenix, Arizona? Or assisted living is a better option for them?

To know which type of care is perfect for your seniors, you need to know the advantages and differences between the two.

In assisted living, residents will be provided with housing and care services to active seniors who aren’t able to live independently. This type of care combines housing, support services, and healthcare if needed. However, they do not provide ongoing Skilled Nursing care. Usually, the costs of assisted living include care, housing, and meals in one monthly fee.

On the other hand, home health care can provide a wide range of services such as companionship, physical therapy, wound care, nursing care, etc. The cost of home health care depends on a state’s minimum wage. And there are a lot of ways how to pay for it, may it be through Medicare, Medicaid, PACE, Veterans assistance options, or private pay. However, if you or your loved ones don’t have enough resources and will need constant support in finances, there are Medical Social Workers who can help you.

If you think home health care is the best option for your loved one, then we at Valley of The Sun Home Healthcare can provide it for you. Call us now.
