Nursing Home or Home Care Agency?
One of the first decisions you’ll have to make to manage your parents from afar is whether to choose a nursing home or a home care agency. At Advanced Nursing & Home Support, we strongly believe that in-home care is the best solution for most aging or ailing loved ones. Some of the benefits include:
- Your parent gets to stay at home and maintain their independence
- Your parent will receive quality care, including companionship and skilled nursing care
- Your parent’s home can be cared for, including cleaning, personal care, and more
