There are so many programs that sometimes it is hard to know where to start. This website is about services that help people to stay at home as long as possible. It is organized according to the services someone may need. Each section lists the agencies and the county where the service is. There is government financial help for most of the programs described in this booklet.
Many programs ask people to pay part of the cost.
You do not have to be low income to qualify for many programs. Most people prefer to stay at home and get the help or services they need in familiar surroundings. They often rely on family, neighbors, or friends. Sometimes, though, paid help is needed. Home care services include things like Meals on Wheels, adult day services, nursing care at home, housekeeping services, and relief for caregivers.
