Today, we were happy to have Jennifer Bolles from Home Instead Senior Care  explain to us the many services that complement her company’s in-home Companion Care/Home Helper/personal care services:

• In-home Companion Care/Home Helper services
  • eg. Home Instead Senior Care
  • - not all of these offer personal care service (eg. Bathing, incontinence assistance, mobility aid), which Home Instead does
• Hospice – end-of-life care
• Palliative – for fragile people in-home, often includes working towards a cure
• Skilled medical care
• Medical Supply Stores – durable medical equipment
• Long-term care insurance
• Geriatric case managers/social workers – works with family to help identify plan of care (supposed to be neutral)
• Assisted living communities
• Independent living communities
• Rehabilitative care (short-term), often with a long-term care wing (nursing homes)
• Independent rehabilitative therapists (eg. respiratory, occupational, physical)
