Seniors prefer to live at home.

Why Ontario’s seniors prefer to live at home as they age.

More Ontario seniors prefer to live at home or in their apartments as long as they can – studies back up this narrative as well. Covid has also created much fear in the senior population solidifying the ever-growing need to want to remain where they feel safe. But is this possible? with the assistance of a home caregiver, it can be. In a recent letter to the premier, a son writes that his mother and father are determined to continue living at home and are appealing to have more support for home caregiving. At Universal Health Hub #UNVHealthHub, we believe that the quality of this home care has to improve too; with empathy and cultural competency being the core. Refer to our blog Why Universal Health Hub values culture competency in caregiving. This is becoming the new norm for the younger generation where they are opting to arrange quality home care for their aging family member versus sending let them go to long-term care or retirement home. A push for a new outlook on senior care is upon us. Where there is an important focus on how to create a better version so that to allow seniors prefer to live at home with dignity and receive the proper support, assistance, and care needed.
