HOME CARE GUIDE PROVIDES SOLUTIONS FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS

With the senior population expected to reach 72 million by 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, more and more families will be dealing with care decisions. Family caregivers now have a free resource to help guide them through the sometimes complicated maze of home care choices.

The Home Care Solution: A Guide to the Best Choices for Seniors and Those Who Care About Them
has been produced by the Home Instead Senior Care network.

The guide will provide family caregivers with answers to a number of caregiving questions including:

• Who provides home care and what do they do?
• Are all home care companies the same?
• What questions do you ask when looking for a home care company?
• How much does home care cost?

Featured in the guide are important distinctions between home health care and non-medical care, the signs to watch for that could signal when a specific type of home care is warranted, the differences between types of caregivers and what families need to know to protect their loved ones, and the various costs involved including the ways that exist to fund home care.

The guide is available free by calling 866-996-1087.
