Home Care Stats for the Sunshine Coast!
Worldwide, the following statistics reflect the growth of home health care and some of the main reasons why it is an increasingly viable option for anyone with an aging or disabled loved one who deserves the best care and protection available:
1. 90 percent of seniors really want to remain in their homes.
2. 69 percent of home health care patients are 65 years old or more, with only one in five aged over 81.
3. A substantial majority of home health care patients are women, although this may well be due to their longer average lifespan.
4. Home health care offers the patient customised care, with the carer spending more quality time with the patient.
5. The senior population is growing faster than caregivers are being trained.
6. By 2025, there will be one billion seniors in the world.
7. Half of the population aged 75 or more live by themselves.
8. Home health care is able to offer one-on-one focus and support, which is of great benefit to patients.
9. Statistics show that home health care patients enjoy better or at least comparable health than those in hospital or nursing establishments.
10. Home health care is not confined to the immobile or bedridden: it is there for anyone who needs assistance in dealing with their daily life.
Homecare is very flexible. It may be temporary, while you recover from an operation or an illness, or it may be long term
