The emotional benefits of receiving care at home versus a care facility

Staying at home for care can make a big difference emotionally, especially for older people.

Familiarity and Comfort

Imagine your bedroom versus a room in a new place. Your bedroom feels safe and cozy, right? Home is like that. It’s filled with memories and things you love, which can make you feel happy and secure.

Feeling in Control

At home, you get to decide your own schedule. You can eat when you want, watch your favorite shows, and keep your routines. This feeling of control is super important for feeling good.

Staying Connected

Home is where your friends and family visit. You can keep seeing your neighbors and stay part of your community. This helps you feel less lonely and more connected to the people you care about.

Personal Space

Having your own space is important. You have your own things, your own way of doing things. In a facility, you have to share much more space.

Emotional Security

Being in a familiar place can reduce feelings of anxiety and fear. Change can be scary for everyone, and especially for older people. Staying home provides a sense of emotional security.
