Agencies or homes for the blind?

Are nursing homes or home health agencies more effective in frail elderly adults?

  • Answer:

    Whether nursing homes or home health care agencies are more effective for frail elderly adults depends on the individual client. If financially feasible, staying home and having home health aides come to the house can offer peace of mind to a patient. For example, changing an elderly dementia patient's surroundings may cause anxiety and stress. On the other hand, an elderly relative require the type of care a nursing home is able to offer. And, sometimes an elderly patient is unable to stay in his or her home for any number of reasons.
