In today’s episode, we dive into a key aspect of navigating home care: understanding how people search for care services for their loved ones. Whether it's Google, Bing, or other platforms, families seeking personal home care for an elderly or disabled loved one often have a similar set of concerns.
In this episode of the Chasing Care Podcast, we’re tackling a critical topic: the often-overlooked benefits of home care for older adults.
Join us as we challenge common perceptions about residential care and explore why more people are opting for care at home.
We dive into recent statistics that reveal a startling trend: only 25% of individuals over 45 feel comfortable entering a residential care home—the lowest number since tracking began in 2014. We also highlight the sentiment among those over 75, where just 29% are open to the idea, down significantly from 44% eight years ago.
Tune in as we unpack these numbers, discuss the implications for families and caregivers, and explore the many advantages of home care.
Whether you’re planning for yourself or a loved one, this episode provides valuable insights and guidance to help you make informed decisions about care options.
