Elder Care
.
The proportion of the population that is over 65 has increased by 68% over the past two decades and the proportion of seniors who will live beyond 80 years has increased by 40%, a trend that is expected to grow.
Over one-fifth of Canadians aged 45 – 64 years have the responsibility of caring for more than 2.3 million seniors. In many cases they are caring for their parents ( 67%), in-laws (24%), or friends and neighbours (24%). In addition to their caregiving responsibilities, almost three-quarters of informal caregivers work- most of them full-time. In a majority of cases, their spouses work as well. One in five working caregivers belongs to the ‘sandwich generation’ looking after a parent and having children living at home.
Providing Options
Personalized care in the comfort of your own home is incomparable to anything else.
Many seniors are faced with the fact that they can no longer live alone and have to resort to moving to traditional care facilities such as a nursing home. Nannies Direct can provide an affordable alternative to seniors. Providing a caregiver allows a person to live in their own home with familiar surroundings. Personalized care in the comfort of your own home is incomparable to anything else.
Nannies Direct also provides International Caregivers who will assist persons with disabilities and individuals with special needs.
