You will be actively involved with arranging for the care you need. Senior and Disabled Services Division and Area Agency on Aging case managers can help you choose the best care setting. They can also provide additional information about other programs and services. Respite Care Respite Care services give families and other caregivers temporary relief from providing care for frail adults. Companionship, light assistance, recreational activities, and security are provided in your home, out of home in a group setting, or overnight in a residential setting.
Respite care fosters a healthier quality of life for both the care- giver and care receiver.
Adult Day Services Adult day services can help people with physical and cognitive impairments remain independent. They are offered in a variety of centers around the state. People with chronic or progressive health problems can be served by adult day services. Day service participants often have difficulty performing familiar daily tasks, have lost initiative, motivation or memory, or need a safe environment and supervision. Some day centers also offer nursing, physical therapy, and personal care.
