In-Home Care for Seniors: How Concierge Care Works in Independent Living

In-home care for seniors allows older adults to receive support in the place they call home, whether that is their family residence or a private apartment in an independent living community. Depending on their individual needs, this support can range from assistance with daily activities to more comprehensive personal care and medical services.

This type of support isn’t limited to people living in their own homes. Residents of independent living communities with services such as, The Village on Morehead can access additional support such as concierge care within their own private apartments, allowing them to enjoy their chosen lifestyle with their health and well-being needs addressed.

1) What is in-home care for seniors?

In-home care refers to assistance provided in your own residence, whether that is your family home or a private apartment within an independent living community. Depending on your needs, support may include help with daily activities, personal care, medical support, companionship, or assistance with practical tasks.

Importantly, in-home care can enable you to remain in your existing place of residence rather than moving to a different type of senior living. As your physical, emotional, and medical needs change, additional in-home services can help you remain comfortable in familiar surroundings.

2) What is concierge care?

Concierge care is a personalized approach to arranging and delivering healthcare services to older adults in their place of residence. This often includes access to healthcare professionals, assistance with personal care, and tailored support to manage changing health and daily living needs.

Unlike a standardized care package, concierge care is adaptable to your circumstances, preferences, and schedule. A comprehensive service will coordinate different aspects of wellness care, communicate with family members, and make adjustments as your needs evolve.

3) How does concierge care work in independent living?

Concierge care brings together in-home assistance and healthcare services to allow older adults to remain in an independent living community for longer. Rather than automatically needing to move when your needs change, concierge care allows you to access the care and support you need while continuing to enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. Concierge care can be particularly valuable for couples whose needs differ, allowing them to access additional assistance while continuing to live together.
