Types of long-term care

What kind of care does your loved one need?

When most people contact us, they are not sure what type of care their loved one needs. Mom or dad may have been living independently for a long time and suddenly something happened and they can no longer manage on their own. This doesn't necessarily mean that your loved one has to go to a nursing home, but they may simply need some help to "get back to normal".

Types of long-term care

There are more options today for the person in need of care:

* Assisted Living Facility - a residential care setting that combines housing, support services, and health care for people.
* Continuing Care Retirement Community - a residential care setting that usually has an independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facility on site.
* Nursing Home - a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living.
* Home Care - care delivered in the home to assist people with the instrumental activities of daily living, activities of daily living or limited skilled care.

Senior Helpers provides in-home care. This allows your loved one to remain in their home while still getting the attention they need and is typically more affordable than the other types of long-term care, depending on the schedule.
