The Difference Between
Nursing And Residential Care
Aging is an irreversible fact of
life and it can bring disabilities
and other obstacles with it.
These obstacles can be a bit
difficult to overcome on your
own.
This is why many of the elderly seek assistance
in performing their daily activities. When you
decide to seek assistance, one of the major
decisions you'll have to make is whether to avail
of care services or go to a nursing home.
What’s the difference
between the two and
which is the better
option?
Nursing homes are private facilities
where you're provided with the
necessary care along with other elderly
patients. The nursing home staff helps
you with practically everything, from
preparing your meals to bathing you
and administering the medications you
may need.
NURSING CARE
Residential care, also known as home
care, involves hiring a nurse or
professional caregiver to care for you
in your own home. The medical
professional could come to your home
according to an agreed schedule or
he/she could stay in your home if 24-
hour assistance is needed.
RESIDENTIAL CARE
Comparison of Cost
A lot of people hesitate to go into a
nursing home because of the high
cost it entails. When you give it some
serious thought, however, you'll
realize that there are instances where
a nursing home is actually the less
costly option
Home care is only advisable if the necessary
assistance is minimal - cooking, running errands,
etc.-and you can still pretty much take care of
yourself. If you need help with almost all aspects
of your daily routines and you have scheduled
medications, then it may be more practical to
avail of the services of a nursing home.
Comfort and Care Quality
Most people would feel a lot more
comfortable receiving care in his or
her own home and if you can afford
to make some major modifications
to your house in order to
accommodate your special needs
As regards the quality of care, however, we
can’t really say one option is better than the
other because no two professional caregivers
are exactly alike just as no two nursing homes
are alike.
