The oldest family members are often the most respected because they have spent years providing advice and support for their families. When elderly relatives reach a point where they need daily care, it is natural for their families to seek out the best care option available.
There are several options available for good senior care, but many seniors prefer to age in place and receive the care that they need in their homes. In some cases, family members can act as a caregiver to cover some of their needs at home, but there are limits to what an informal caregiver can provide.
