Paid In-Home Care: More Care & Better Care for Seniors (PDF 1 MB)
Recent academic research commissioned by Home Instead Senior Care uncovered an association between the use of paid in-home non-medical care and a lower number of visits to doctors by care recipients. The reason for this may be that the use of paid in-home non-medical care results in more hours of care – and presumably better care – for older adults. What's more, the benefits of paid in-home non-medical care extend not just to seniors, but also to the people who most often are caring for them: their family members and friends.

He said that she is bipolar because she has her ups and downs.
