1. Call the local Alzheimer's Assn. and ask for a list of homecare services, especially those affiliated with doctors. In my experience, the services don't have doctors on staff, but do work with a specific practice when necessary.
I wasn't particularly impressed with one choice, but the homecare service had also declined in quality at that point and it was only one experience.
The Alz. Assn. in my experience has the best and most thorough collection of elder care services, and they're prompt. I received e-mailed lists in about 1/2 hour from the time I called. The Area on Aging took a whole week; after a few experiences with their own Same Address reps, I dropped contact with them completely.
(The so-called RN thought she was a home estimator and said the living room needed $50K of repairs. As an RN though, she didn't even know what psychotropic drugs were.)
2. Sometimes counties and states maintain elder care related lists. And sometimes just contacting them results in a referral. I found transportation for cataract surgery follow-up through one of my county's Senior Reps.
3. Ask staff and/or treating doctors if they can recommend anyone.
4. Ask Senior Center staff the same questions. My father's SC had a social worker on staff who was very helpful.
