Eldercare is specialized care that is designed to meet the needs and requirements of the senior citizens at various stages of life. It’s a broad term that encompasses everything from assisted living and nursing care to home care and hospice care . It is a comprehensive and unique preventive/therapeutic solution for the senior population of the country.
Elder care often becomes necessary when the elder starts experiencing difficulty with activities of daily living, both independently and safely. Daily activities may include cleaning, cooking, dressing, bathing, driving, taking medicines etc.
