Benefits of Home Care for Seniors

Illinois-based Erol Stapleton is the co-founder, president, and CEO of Provider Preferred Home Health and a partner with E&J Estate Holdings. Erol Stapleton is also a member of the Illinois Association of HomeCare & Hospice Council (IHHC), and has led Provider Preferred Home Health to elite status for 5 years in a row. He is a strong advocate for home care.


There are benefits to both home care and medical care facilities, or nursing homes, and ultimately it remains a case-by-case decision for each individual and family. However, if you’ve never considered home care as an option before, here are some of the benefits.

Home care is often much more affordable than living in a nursing home. On average, in-home care costs about $2800 a month, or $48,000 annually. This is less than half of the average cost for nursing home residency, which can easily top $100,000 depending on which state you live in and the quality of care you’re looking for.

A well established Illinois entrepreneur, Erol Stapleton guides E&J Estate Holdings and emphasizes responsible urban planning in the Chicago suburbs. Erol Stapleton also leads Provider Preferred Home Health as CEO and guides a firm that provides quality-focused services to Illinois clients. 

The aim of home health care is to offer medical treatment that expedites recovery and self-sufficiency. With conditions addressed including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and chronic kidney disease, the range of professionals dispatched ranges from skilled nurses to physical therapists. 

A team approach is emphasized that includes caregivers, family, and doctors, and ensures proactive care that promotes disease prevention. All plans are physician-ordered, and the doctor is kept up to date on progress throughout the term of care. 

One important requirement for care eligibility is that the patient is homebound, or with a restricted ability to leave his or her residence. This means that a supportive device such as walker or cane, or another person’s assistance, is needed. For many eligible patients, Medicare pays for a large portion of the cost of home health care services, with private insurance and state Medicaid programs also often filling in gaps.
