Caring for the elderly at home can be challenging sometimes, compare to them living in a nursing facility. When staying at home the family caregiver will have to focus more attention on their loved one which sometimes might interfere with their own jobs or their personal lives, and if they decided to take their loved one to the facility it is always a big challenge for family members to decide if they want to send their mom or dad to the facility or keep them at home where they can receive the care that they need.

The decision to receive care at home or the facility depends on many factors, most times family members or the seniors themselves will prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home to receive care, they prefer to be in a familiar environment to receive the care they need if their health condition has not been too critical, such seniors will need a non-medical home care services to meet their special needs.
There are several home care services available for the elderly to provide care for them in their own homes. When asked most seniors prefer staying in their homes to receive care, this relieves them of the emotional stress of being in an unfamiliar environment.
