When your loved one begins to need additional care, it’s tempting to try to save money by providing the care yourself or by hiring a company to provide in-home services. It only makes sense that most people think staying at home for as long as possible is better, both financially and emotionally, than moving into an assisted living community. However, this is often not the case and doesn’t provide needed care or save money in the end.
