Another option that some families choose is home care. While care in the home is also a good option for some, there are many drawbacks to it. First is the cost of home care. Most agencies charge between $35 to $50 per hour, so if your loved one needs 24/7 care in the home, at the median $42 per hour, that would cost $42 x 24 hours per day x 30 days per month = $30,240 per month. Besides the high cost of care in the home, there is also the lost of privacy for the family. The home care agency will send several caregivers and so there will be different caregivers coming to your home, looking around and going into your space. In addition, there needs to be a family member in the home with the one needing care, so this prohibits many freedoms for the family. When you put your loved one into care at Roxbury, not only is it a cozy home environment, you and your family will have complete privacy and freedom to do as you please and to go where you please whenever you please.
