How Home Care and Technology Are Combining to Make Independent Living a Reality for Seniors
Manage episode 272184406 series 2198402
In recent months, the value of care in the home has become more and more apparent to many families. As COVID-19 has swept through nursing homes and other facilities, older adults have been especially hard hit by the virus. Because of the high rates of infection in care facilities, many families have looked for alternatives for care for a senior loved one, and home care has provided the answers and safety needed during these unprecedented times.
To discuss more about the value of home care, Emma Dickison, CFE, CSA, president and CEO of Home Helpers Home Care, is my guest on this episode of Help Choose Home. With more than two decades of experience in home care both professionally and personally as a family caregiver, Emma brings an important perspective to her role at Home Helpers and in her recently appointed role as president of the board for the Home Care Association of America.
In this episode we discuss:
- How the pandemic has fueled an increase in hospitals discharging patients directly home versus to a care facility
- The role of technology in helping make home care more effective
- The future of home care in America
- The growth of home care and an increased need for caregivers
Be sure to check out Help Choose Home Season 3, Episode 8 show notes and our full library of podcasts dedicated to helping families learn more about professional home care options.
