The Importance of Caregiver Continuity

According to a recent study by SAGE Publications, individuals who have high levels of continuity when it comes to home health care aides have a much greater likelihood of improvement in their ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) than those with the lowest levels of continuity. In fact, as highlighted by Home Health Care News, the study revealed that those cared for by the same aide had a 93% chance of improving their ADLs. In addition, even patients with moderate levels of continuity did not experience significant differences in their likelihood of ADL improvement. Consistency is key, and choosing a home care agency committed to providing continuity of care makes all the difference.
