Providing ongoing care as a family caregiver for a loved one who can no longer live independently is an emotionally and physically exhausting experience, irrespective of how able or young you might be. Caring for a loved one requires a great deal of physical effort and emotional resilience while balancing your own needs and well-being.

In-home care, often referred to as home care or senior care, is non-medical care that encompasses a range of supportive services tailored to the needs of the elderly, disabled, and those in recovery.
The main objective of this type of care is to provide support to those who can’t live on their own due to age, mobility issues, or other limiting factors. These services help individuals maintain their autonomy and independence from friends and family members.
The full extent of these services depends on the type of care that is needed and often includes help with performing the activities of daily living, such as dressing, grooming, hygiene, mobility assistance, and medication reminders.
Some care options might also include light housekeeping, laundry and meal preparation. Most in-home services are non-medical in their nature, such as companionship, social engagement, and transportation support.
