Providing Older Adults With The Help They Need at Home
|
For many older adults, the golden years are a time for looking back and remembering the good times with family and friends. But for some, growing older often results in feelings of uncertainty. An increasing number of older adults, who live in their own home, need help with bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation and a little help around the house. Older adults can contact the Area Office on Aging at 800-472-7277 to find if they are eligible for in-home care for little or no cost.
The Area Office on Aging's long-term care programs can help with:
• Home delivered meals
• Bathing, dressing, and meal preparation
• Housekeeping/homemaking
• Transportation
• Emergency response systems
• Adult day services
• Medical equipment & supplies
• Planning for long-term care
Everyone is eligible for a free assessment by a licensed social worker or registered nurse to discuss the available long-term care options in their home.
Those who need these services for themselves or someone they know should call the Area Office on Aging at 800-472-7277 or visit www.areaofficeonaging.com
