Home Care vs. Care Home: What Families in Leicestershire Need to Know.
One of the biggest decisions families face is: do we move mum or dad into a care home, or can they stay at home?
Here's something worth knowing
Studies show that older adults who remain at home are up to 30% less likely to experience cognitive decline compared to those who move into residential care prematurely.
Staying home means:
1. Familiar surroundings = less anxiety and confusion.
2. Maintained routines and independence.
3. One-to-one, personalised attention.
4. Often more cost-effective than residential care.
5. Family stays closely involved.
Home care isn't a compromise for many people; it's genuinely the better option.
