Here’s a quick comparison of home care vs. assisted living for dementia, highlighting both emotional and financial aspects:

​

• 🏠 Home care provides comfort and familiarity, allowing dementia patients to stay in a known environment, which can reduce confusion and emotional stress for both them and their families.

​

• 💸 While in-home care may seem costlier hourly, it can be more affordable overall when care needs are limited and when family provides partial support.

​

• 🏡 Assisted living offers structured support and social activities, but it often lacks the personalized attention and flexibility of one-on-one home care.

​

• 💔 Emotional well-being in home care tends to be higher, fostering stronger family bonds and enhanced quality of life through personal interaction and dignity-focused routines.

​

• 📊 Choosing between care options depends on budget, care level, and personal values—understanding both models helps families make compassionate, informed decisions.
