But before you consider prices, it’s important to get a plan ready. One of the ways to do that is researching long term care options and figuring out which option is best for you. From there, plans for paying, living, etc. can begin. If you’re not familiar with the different types of long-term care, keep reading!

This week is National Skilled Nursing Care Week! As a home care agency, we serve our clients wherever they live and need assistance. While this is sometimes private homes and apartments, it also includes assisted and independent livings, rehabs, memory cares, nursing homes, etc. It would be impossible for our caregivers to do their jobs completely without the help of the staff in these buildings. For this reason and many more, we would like to thank all of the skilled nursing staff for all they do!

Adult children (sons and daughters of clients in home care) often reach out and wonder what they can do to get their parents to accept more help.
