1. You Need Or Can Benefit From Care
Reason number one underpins all the other reasons to get in-home care: because you need it. If you need care to be healthy and safe, then you need to receive that care, otherwise your health and quality of life will suffer.
It’s worth noting, though, that not all people who receive in-home care need care. In-home care can benefit elderly Pennsylvanians and those with disabilities by simply making their lives easier and more convenient. Maybe your elderly mother can do laundry herself, but you don’t like the idea of her carrying the laundry basket up and down the basement stairs. Well, an in-home caregiver can do that for her.
2. You Love Your Pittsburgh-Area Home
If you need care, one option is to move into a care facility. There are numerous assisted living communities, nursing homes, memory care homes, and other senior care communities in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania.

But these communities aren’t for everybody. Maybe the communities seem fine to you, but you simply don’t want to leave your home. If you love your Pittsburgh-area home, you can receive all the same care services with in-home care from Always Best Care of Fox Chapel.
3. You Value Your Personal Space.
Even if you don’t have an emotional attachment to your home, there are reasons to prefer in-home care to a care community. In some communities, you can get your own private room. But even so, these facilities are communal in nature. If you love privacy and quiet, remaining in your own home is probably better.
4. You Want Some Help Around The Home.
As mentioned above, not all care services are about helping people eat food or bathe. Home helper services help people take care of their homes. It would be silly to move out just because laundry, vacuuming, and/or cleaning is becoming difficult for you. A home helper caregiver can help with all of that.
5. You Want To Save Money.
In-home care might be the more convenient or your preferred option. As a result, you might expect to pay more for it. But actually, in-home care typically costs less than moving into a care community.
