Personal Care Homes - A Better Alternative to Nursing Homes

In many families there comes a time when the elderly have to move out of the home and into a long term care facility. This transition time it is usually a tough time, sometimes even traumatic for the whole family. However, with understanding, help and planning, the uncertainty of entering and adjusting to a life in long term facility can be greatly minimized.

In order to make the move easier for your loved ones you must plan ahead and if possible, let the resident to be involved in selecting a long term care facility. Depending on the condition of the resident, there may be different options when choosing a nursing facility. The most common type of facilities are nursing homes, assisted living facilities and personal care homes or residential care homes. Most people have heard about nursing homes and assisted living facilities. However, personal care homes are not as popular even though they are a great alternative to nursing homes.

In this article I would like to give you an overview of a personal care home and also inform you about the benefits you will get when considering this type of long term option.

A Personal Care Home is a perfect environment for residents who do not want to live in a large community such a nursing home and prefer a homelike setting. It is very tough for your loved ones to be removed from their home and placed in a nursing home. A move to a residential care home is much easier because the homelike setting is very similar to their own home.

• The cost of a Personal Care Home is about half the cost of a nursing home.

• Your loved ones get a better quality care. In a typical Home in Georgia, the number of residents is about 3-6. The number of residents per caregiver is much smaller which means that the residents are better cared for.

• In a Personal Care Home your loved ones feel like home. They do whatever they want whenever they want. They have a more relaxed schedule that meets their needs and desires. In a homelike setting they have a much more quiet time which is very important for them in this stage in life.

• A Residential Care Home provide all the necessary services for your loved ones, services such as: three meals per day and snacks, laundry services, housekeeping, utilities and transportation, assistance with medication and personal care.
