“89 percent of families with loved ones in long-term care facilities consider home care: survey,” by Joe Jancsurak, McKnight’s Senior Living

 

Quote:

“Eighty-nine percent of families with loved ones living in nursing homes or assisted living communities who participated in a new survey said they have considered switching to in-home care due to the coronavirus pandemic. That’s just one finding from the Care.com COVID-19 Senior Care Survey of 1,000 U.S. adults with older loved ones receiving professional care.”
