Navigating Home Care Options in Armdale
Home care helps Armdale seniors live well in the homes they love. But what happens when an aging loved one can no longer live on their own due to a decline in memory, difficulty with dressing, or the fear of falls? A home care agency can help. In-home caregivers can support older adults with bathing, remind them to take medication, or provide companionship to avoid social isolation. Thanks to professional caregivers, aging loved ones can stay at home with peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones.

The method originated by studying the elders of Okinawa, Japan, where residents routinely live to be over 100 years old, enjoying good health and purpose. Inspired by this, we’ve made it our mission to inspire joy daily.

How do I find the best caregiver in Armdale for my loved one?

Is home care better than moving to assisted living?
Nine out of ten older adults would prefer to live independently in the home they know and love rather than move to a facility or assisted living community.
With the right level of support, most people can continue to live safely and comfortably at home even as they age with a progressive illness or condition.

How much does home care cost in Armdale?
Home care is typically billed by the hour, with costs varying slightly by region. Most families pay out-of-pocket for their care. However, several government programs and tax credits are available to help subsidize the cost of care in different provinces.
Is a home care agency better than hiring a private caregiver?
If you value safety, security, and reliability, yes. A quality home care agency is insured and also manages the performance and scheduling of its caregivers, handles billing and payroll, and has backup caregivers to fill in when needed.
With a private hire caregiver, you’re responsible for setting up payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents or injuries in the home.
