Reality: Home care services vary greatly in quality, training, oversight, and scope. Some agencies provide only basic personal support, while others—like Shylo Home Healthcare—offer professional nursing, palliative care, dementia support, medication management, and spiritual care.

Choosing an agency that is local, accredited, and experienced in geriatric nursing makes a profound difference in outcomes. Families should always ask about staff qualifications, service flexibility, response times, and how care plans are reviewed and updated.

Palliative Care can be provided in many settings, including:
• At home, supported by a Home Care agency with RNs on staff
• In Hospital; Palliative Care Units are often for short-term stays to manage symptoms
• Hospices, which offer 24/7 End of Life care in a supportive environment
• Long-Term Care or Assisted Living facilities (additional support from Home Care often required).

The choice depends on the patient's and family’s preferences. Many families prefer home-based palliative care to maintain familiarity, privacy, and dignity.

FALSE: Unsecured area rugs and clutter are the top tripping hazards for seniors.

Area rugs or scatter mats with non-slip backing can easily catch a foot, so ensure all rugs lie flat and have secured, non-skid backs. Remove all clutter from the floors and keep all cords safely away from pathways.
