What You Should Know
With improvements in medicine,
public health, science
and technology, today’s elders
live longer, healthier lives
than previous generations.
Still, at some point most
seniors depend on others for
help with daily activities.
Some elders receive this help
from family members or
service providers who visit
them at home; others move
to an assisted living residence,
nursing home or other facility.
As a caregiver, you will want
to make sure your loved one
receives the right care at the
right time as abilities decline.
Together, you, your loved one
and other family members
should carefully consider
available care and housing
options. Then, plan for suitable
living arrangements
given your loved one’s health,
preferences and finances.
