Home Care
Home care services are provided to elderly people in the privacy of their own home. Nurses, home health aides or physical therapists visit the home to provide health care, assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, taking medications, etc.
Assisted Living
Assisted Living provides personal care to elderly people. These long-term care residents need assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and mobility, but they do not need medical or health care.
Adult Day Care
Adult day care centers provide supervision, social activities and meals for elderly people. Caregivers can take their elderly parents to an adult day center for a few hours or a full day, knowing they are being kept safe and comfortable in a center designed especially to care for the needs of elderly people.
Nursing Homes
A nursing home, sometimes called a skilled nursing facility or rest home, is a long-term care residence for elderly people who have chronic health conditions that need to be constantly monitored and treated by health care and medical professionals.
Independent Living
Elderly people who can take care of themselves might choose independent living, such as 55+ housing, home ownership in a retirement community, and senior apartment rentals. Independent living provides a safe, secure and maintenance-free home that also has social activities for seniors.
Geriatric Care Managers
A geriatric care manager is like a case manager for elderly people. The geriatric care manager assesses the elder's needs, and creates a total-care plan, which can include medical care, community resources, legal assistance and financial planning.
Hospice
Hospice care, also known as palliative care, is care for dying or terminally ill patients who have less than 6 months to live. Hospice is a compassionate approach to caring for those who are dying. The goal is to make the person as comfortable as possible, by controlling pain and treating symptoms.
