Senior care includes services that support the physical, emotional, and medical supervision needs of older adults. It can range from in-home care to assisted living. The goal is to ensure safety and quality of life. Options vary by independence level. Care can be short- or long-term.

Signs can include memory loss, mobility issues, poor hygiene, or missed medications and/or meals. Increased falls, isolation, or confusion also indicate a need for help. A medical evaluation can guide the decision. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes. Having someone spend a few hours a day two /three times a week is a good way to introduce them to the care needed and gives them confidence and friendship with a caregiver. Do not wait to provide care until the situation becomes extreme.

Home Care provides assistance with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, cooking, and medication reminders as well as safety supervision, companionship, shopping for necessities, transportation to events, appointments and life giving activities.
