These days, many aging adults prefer to stay in their familiar and comfortable homes rather than move to an assisted living facility or nursing home. Remaining at home is a pleasant idea, but there are also many things to consider – particularly if you or your aging loved one is recovering from illness or surgery. In a nursing home or assisted living facility, regular visits by healthcare professionals is an important part of the daily care routine. Nurses and physicians monitor vital signs and watch for early signs of health concerns. For adults who are aging in their homes – or those who are recovering from illness or surgery -- BrightStar care offers a team of professionally trained home health care providers who offer skilled nursing care, right in the comforts of home.
