There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.
In Omaha, where older adults often have deep roots in neighborhoods like Dundee, Elkhorn, or Papillion, staying home isn’t just about comfort—it’s about staying connected to what matters.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
- Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
- Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver
Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you’d be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can’t show up.
With Home Instead, we handle everything:
- Professional hiring, training, and supervision
- Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
- Personalized matches and no long-term contracts
We’ve delivered over 1.2 million hours of care across Omaha—and we’re proud to offer a team you can count on.
