A National Poll on Healthy Aging, conducted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, found that almost 70% of adults 65 and older will need some long-term care services in their homes to stay safe and meet their everyday needs. To understand your in-home care options, it’s important to know the difference between home care and home health care.

While caregiving is rewarding, it is physically and emotionally exhausting. Your own needs tend to take a back seat to everyone else’s.

Life is full of changes and new beginnings: starting school or a new job, your first day as a married couple, becoming a new parent or grandparent, moving to a new home or downsizing to a simpler lifestyle.

Choosing a home care service provider can be an overwhelming process, and there are often many options to choose from. “The goal of home care is to keep individuals thriving in the comfort of their own home with the support necessary to remain independent while honoring their dignity,” Kathleen Noll, Masonic Village Home Care manager, said.

After an injury, Kim Enck needed an extra hand with her husband's care. After utilizing Masonic Village Home Care, even once her injury healed, she found the assistance to be a life saver.
