Help at home can let someone stay where they want to be. Arranging it means working out what help is needed, who will give it, what it costs, and what happens when a helper does not come.
Inside
- The kinds of help at home: family and friends, companion and personal care, home health, private-duty nursing, adult day programs, and respite
- A care plan, a cost worksheet, and an interview page for each provider you call
- Hiring through a licensed provider or on your own, and what each leaves to the family
- A family schedule, a log for the first weeks, and what to do when something is wrong
- When home care is the wrong answer
- A part for the person receiving help: keeping your home your own
Stephen Deason has spent about forty years working inside health care. He runs a licensed home care and skilled nursing provider in Georgia.
