Seniors who want to age in place can benefit from a variety of home care services, including assistance with:
Personal care (e.g., bathing, hygiene, dressing)
Household tasks (e.g., laundry, cleaning, shopping, gardening)
Companionship care (e.g., playing games, reading aloud, going for walks)
Health care (e.g., medication, physical therapy, dementia care)
Transportation (e.g., getting to and from appointments and meetups with friends)
Home modifications (e.g., converting a standard tub to a walk-in tub )
Older individuals and their loved ones look for these services from for-profit providers, charitable organizations and local, state and federal programs.
