| Housing, Placement and Care Options |
 |
|
| When looking for available housing and care, there are many options available. At The Estate Planning & Elder Law Firm, P.C, we are devoted to helping you and your loved one find the right fit for your needs, budget and desires.
Below is a partial list of available options: |
| Home |
|
| Most of us want to stay in our home and remain in our familiar and comfortable surroundings. Our firm promotes and encourages independence for as long as possible. We are glad to connect you to resources that enable your loved one to remain at home in a safe and secure environment. |
| Home With Assistance |
|
| Remaining at home with care assistance may be a solution for help with cooking, laundry, or assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, grooming, and bathing. Most home care agencies can offer assistance for a minimum of 4 hours up to a maximum of 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |
| Home With Adult Day Care |
|
| Benefits from attending an adult day center include having meals prepared and social activities provided during the day. Adult day care centers often provide transportation as well. An adult day care allows one to be engaged and supervised during the day, but able to return home to his/her familiar surroundings in the evenings. |
| Life With Family |
|
| Your best option may be to live with a family member. In many cases, families have entered into care contracts and/or life estates to receive reimbursement for the care of their loved one. |
| Independent Living Housing |
|
| Independent living communities offer maintenance free lifestyles and social activities within a safe, secure environment. |
| Continuing Care Retirement Communities |
|
| A continuing care retirement community offers residents a comprehensive, lifetime range of care from independent living to nursing care at the same venue. Most continuing care retirement communities require a one-time entrance fee in addition to a monthly rental fee. |
| Assisted Living |
|
| An assisted living community may be an option if assistance is needed with activities of daily living, which include bathing, dressing, incontinence care, and meal preparation. Assisted living communities range in size from large to small group home settings. Some assisted living communities offer specialized, secure programs for seniors with memory impairments. |
| Nursing Care and Rehab |
|
| If short-term rehabilitation after a surgery or illness is required, nursing facilities may be a good option. Nursing care communities also offer permanent residence to those who require long term care provided by medical professionals. |
| Hospice |
|
| Hospice is a resource that provides medical, emotional, and spiritual support for patients with a terminal diagnosis and for their families. Focused on providing services during the end of life, hospice is often provided in one’s own home. |
| Respite |
|
| Whether a caregiver is going out of town or a loved one wants to try out a community, respite care is a short-term care stay that is available in many assisted living and nursing facilities in the area. |
