Geriatric Care

According to the Canadian Home Care Association (http://www.cdnhomecare.on.ca/), home care in Canada is often defined as "an array of services enabling Canadians, incapacitated in whole or in part, to live at home, often with the effect of preventing, delaying, or substituting for long-term care or acute care alternatives".

There are a host of factors influencing and stimulating the demand for quality home care, according to the Canadian Home Care Association. The benefits of live-in geriatric care are many, including:

Allows elderly people to remain in their own environment;
Less expensive than care facilities or retirement homes;
Allows for one on one care and attention.

On a more personal note, live-in caregivers provide:

Companionship,
Emotional support,
Assistance with ambulation,
Assistance with bathing and personal hygiene,
Medication reminders,
Assistance with transportation, and
Meal preparation, general housework and pet care.

A recent study, funded by the Canadian Federal Government, shows that home care for the elderly keeps them healthier, happier and helps them to live a longer, more fulfilling life. The study also shows that home care lowers the demands on the medical system.
