Home Care
Finding Home Care
Caregivers can find services in several ways:
- Contact your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA) or Council on Aging (COA). These groups keep information on home care agencies in your community. They may also be able to provide a free initial assessment.
- Go directly to a private home health care agency. Begin your research with your local phonebook and the Internet
- Ask your primary care physician or geriatric specialist to recommend agencies. They may have firsthand, recent information based on the experiences of other elders they treat.
- Ask other family members, friends, and co-workers
- Check with your employer or insurance company to see if they offer referral services.
