Adult children of seniors often agonize over the thoughts of having to place their loved ones in a nursing home or assisted living setting. Moving and change are often very traumatic for seniors, but their health and safety must always be of the greatest concern. One alternative often overlooked is keeping the senior in the familiar home setting but with some home health resources.
