The Benefits of Family Care vs Assisted Living Care

“OVERALL, FAMILY CARE CAN PROVIDE YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONE WITH SO MANY BENEFITS, FROM INCREASED SAFETY TO HEALTH BENEFITS AND HAPPINESS ALL AROUND.”

If you find yourself providing consistent care to your loved one while balancing your work schedule, you may be considering exploring new options such as Family Care. Family Care is an in-home care model where family members can be compensated through Medicaid while caring for their loved ones.

Now that you’ve found the Family Care option, you might be wondering how it compares to a skilled nursing facility and how to know which one is the best fit for you. While both of these options are unique care models, there are still differences to consider.

Cost - Family Care within your home will reach approximately half the expense of a skilled nursing facility.

Safety - Family Care is a great route for families, especially since the rise of COVID-19, because it limits exposure to outside elements more so than assisted living facilities.

Wellbeing - One of the biggest benefits of Family Care is being in the care of your loved one, which has been shown to provide health benefits overall.

Respite - When you have the support of an agency while caring for your family member, you have a shoulder to lean on. If you ever need to step away from caregiving for temporary relief or personal care, we will be alongside you every step of the way!

Overall, Family Care can provide you and your loved one with so many benefits, from increased safety to health benefits and happiness all around. If you are interested in learning more about Family Care, please reach out today for more information at 812-401-4311!
