Freedom in independent living

Independent living comes with the comfort of knowing that you can do and explore some things by yourself. It provides the freedom to meet new people and try out new retirement interests as well.

When seniors think about it, they might feel like joining an independent living community might take away more and they might have to sacrifice a couple of things. Truth is, independent living provides more gains to expand your world and your surroundings.

Best home care service for you

Choosing the right home care service involves sifting through a lot of options to find your best match. For most seniors, living at home is their most preferred choice, this is because they feel that the home environment is more familiar, comfortable and they get to keep a strong part of their identity. 

You can ask people close to you to help, for example, friends and family. There could be a cousin or an aunt who knows a good care service. A neighbour or friend could also assist with some tasks before you narrow down on a care service. Local religious groups sometimes have services that provide meals and social events and activities for seniors.

Full-Service
Agents

These agencies usually charge more but they do provide pre-screened applicants whose background checks had already been carried out. The caregiver also takes care of the billing and taxing as they work for the agency.

Another good thing with full-service agencies is that in the event a caregiver fails to show up or quits or their services are not up to the expected level, the agency can quickly provide a replacement and may also provide coverage when a caregiver calls in sick.

Independent Providers

They are usually less expensive compared to full-service agencies. However, they do require more legwork on your part. The taxes, background checks and identity verification will have to be done by you, you will also be in charge and responsible for finding another provider to replace them in case of illness or when they quit.
