Taken from an WebMD national survey, the overwhelming majority (90%) of the US aging population want to age in place. Who could blame them? Over the last few years we’ve watched viruses spread through nursing and assisted living facilities like wildfire. Not only that, but overall quality of life, independence and comfort are all markedly better when one ages in place.
Yet, nearly two in 10 Americans aged 70 and older state that they either cannot, or find it difficult, to live independently or accomplish daily tasks. Winchester In Home Care makes it easy for you or your loved ones to age in place by being a trusted right hand whenever needed.

- General companionship and emotional support:
Up to 35% of adults over 55 are prone to loneliness. The after-effects from isolation post Covid 19 has made this a rising concern as we learn more and more about the negative biological, psychological and social impacts of isolation and loneliness. Recent studies are showing its negative effects relating to earlier mortality, functional losses and onsets of chronic disease.
Just having someone there to listen or keep company with has been proven to promote better health, functionality and independence while lessening the chances of hospitalization and early morbidity. Something so simple as having someone to chat with or a bridge and puzzle partner can also reduce acute bouts of depression, anxiety and early cognitive impairment.
At Winchester In Home Care we select not only the most skilled and seasoned caregivers but also those with the best bedside manner. We are there by your side exhibiting patience, empathy and attentiveness.
