Is home health care or a retirement community/assisted living facility a better choice for disabled seniors?

Asked by StaceyD (215points) February 2nd, 2015

My two great aunts been living in their late mother’s house for years but now it is becoming too much for them.They need a landscaper and cleaning service to keep up with routine maintenance. But now one of them is going blind and the other has a hip problem. The family is trying to determine which would be better – a home health aide https://www.caring.com/articles/hiring-a-caregiver or a retirement community such as http://www.sunshineretirementliving.com where there are assisted living facilities. They have health insurance and some savings. The situation is getting worse and the family has to help them make a decision soon. Which choice do you think is better and why?
