In-home care is provided to a client who chooses to live in their home as opposed to staying in a rehabilitation center, a nursing home, or another type of group clinic for people who need ongoing and routine care. Clients can have different reasons for preferring to stay in their own home and some of the more common reasons for coming to this decision can include any of the following.

They feel most comfortable in their home

One of the biggest and most common reasons why clients prefer in-home care is because they feel the most comfortable in their own home. People think of their homes as their sanctuaries, the place where they feel safe and surrounded by comforting people and things. They have their home set up the way they like it and they have all of their own belongings all around them. They have their routines in their home. In-home care allows them to receive the care they need without being away from all of the things they love and are familiar with. 

They get to enjoy such comforts as sleeping in their own bed, watching their own TV, seeing their family, eating off their own dishes, etc. Another great reason for someone being cared for in their own home they know so well is because this can help someone with certain issues to see positive emotional and physical benefits, such as those with dementia. 

They have a schedule they are most comfortable with

There are many things about schedules in facilities that patients don't like and that can even cause them a great deal of stress. At a certain time in the morning, things can suddenly get loud as everyone starts moving around. There is also a demand put on patients to go to activities, therapies, appointments, and even mealtimes at specific times. 

When they are cared for in-home, they will instead have a schedule that is made for them and that caters more to their own schedule, preferences, and needs. This not only makes them more comfortable, but it also helps them to see better progress because they are doing things at the times that are the best for them in many ways. 

Their wants and needs will be met

When someone is in a facility, they may feel as if some of their wants and needs are not being met. However, when someone is being cared for in their own home, they will be more in control of their life and this is important. They will get the emotional and physical care they need while also having the support they need that can come in the form of their household members and even pets, whereas they would be without them in a facility.
