Caregiver Options Compared: Which Is Right for You?

Compare care options by fit

There is no single best caregiver option for every family. Compare live-in care, nursing homes, day care, and part-time help by supervision, mobility support, language, continuity, cost, and the senior's preference.

• Live-in care offers continuity in a familiar home
• Day care can support families who need daytime coverage
• Residential care may suit seniors needing a facility setting

Choose based on the care plan

Start with the level of support needed now and consider how needs may change. A care assessment and honest budget make the comparison more useful than choosing on price alone.
