SUPPORT AT HOME

Care at Home

When an older adult needs help with personal care, health needs or daily routines, the right in-home support can help the family maintain safety, dignity and independence.

What Families Should Know

Nonmedical Home Care

Caregivers may assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, reminders, companionship and other activities of daily living.

Skilled Home Health

Licensed nurses and therapists may provide medically ordered, time-limited services such as wound care, medication teaching, physical therapy or occupational therapy.

Respite Care

Short-term caregiver support can give family members time to rest, work, attend appointments or manage other responsibilities.

Adult Day Services

Day programs may provide supervision, meals, activities, social engagement and, in some programs, health-related services outside the home.

Care Management

Aging-life care professionals can assess needs, coordinate providers, attend care meetings and help families manage complicated care situations.

Hospice and Palliative Support

These services focus on comfort, symptom management and family support. Eligibility, coverage and the type of care provided differ between programs.
