Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Home care would be the best option for Mr. and Mrs. Amin as it would allow them to receive assistance with daily activities in the comfort of their own home, reducing stress and potential health risks associated with moving to a nursing home or hospital. Additionally, with limited means, home care may be more cost-effective than other options. Hospice care is intended for those with terminal illnesses, which does not appear to be the case for Mrs. Amin. Custodial nursing home care may also be costly, and may not be necessary if home care can meet their needs. Hospital care is not an appropriate option as Mrs. Amin is stable and does not require ongoing medical treatment.
