As we age, our bodies and minds may require more assistance with daily activities, including basic tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. For seniors who wish to maintain their independence, home care services provide a viable option for assistance with daily tasks while remaining in the comfort of their own home. In this blog post, we will discuss five reasons why seniors may need home care and how Sterns Estate Home Care Agency can help.

• Age-related challenges: As we age, we may face challenges that make it difficult to perform basic tasks. For example, arthritis can make it difficult to open jars or even turn doorknobs.
