When weighing the options between senior home care and residential or assisted living care facilities, cost is a major factor. Before making a decision, however, it is important to take into consideration the needs of the senior in question, namely the level of care he or she requires. Many are surprised to learn the extent of the services and skills provided by in-home caregivers. Based in Edgerton, Visiting Angels brings experienced, compassionate home care assistance to residents of Northwest Ohio.

In-home senior care is ideal for those who have trouble with daily living tasks and need regular personal care assistance. The cost of home care is generally more affordable than residential or assisted living establishments. According to a recent survey of elderly care providers, a stay at a nursing home costs, on average, $200 per day. This price will vary depending on location; urban areas have higher residential senior care costs, while more rural areas will have lower ones.

Visiting Angels' home care is a fraction of the cost of standard nursing or assisted care facilities. On average, Visiting Angels' services are 1/4 of the cost of a nursing home and 1/3 the price of an assisted living unit. You must remember, though, that pricing is based upon the level of care needed, and these numbers can fluctuate depending on the abilities of the senior and the location of services.
