| Planning for Long-Term Care in the Community
Long term care planning often occurs as a result of a crisis,
after oneself or a loved one becomes hospitalized and needs extended
care.
Many people believe that long term care can only be provided in
nursing homes. Today, however, there are other places where individuals,
who cannot live independently, can receive the assistance they
need. Community Choice counselors
are available to help nursing home residents and hospital patients
investigate their options.
For individuals and families interested in learning more about
home and community-based alternatives, the following information
may help you to find appropriate in-home services, locate support
groups for caregivers and tips on how to modify or safety-proof
your home to prevent accidents.
