Adult Day Care
 Adult
Day Care programs provide an assortment of health, therapeutic, and
social services to those at risk of being placed in a nursing environment.
Adult Day Care services support elderly individuals who lack full
independence but who do not need 24-hour nursing care. Services may
include therapeutic and social activities designed to meet and enhance
the participant's level of functioning through individual plans of
care. Such Adult Day Care services generally provide support, respite
and education for caregivers.
A typical Adult Day Care center operates 10 - 12 hours per day and
provides meals, social/recreational outings, and general supervision.
Some Adult Day Care centers maintain a nurse on-site and may also
provide transportation and personal care.
With the added support through participation in Adult Day Care, admission
to rest homes or nursing homes may be delayed. Hence, participants
may be able to remain at home with family members for a longer period
of time. In addition the social stimulation and recreational activities
often mitigate the decline of cognitive/physical functions.
Adult Day Care support also aids caregivers by providing respite services
thus enabling caregivers to work or to have a break from their caregiving
responsibilities.
Costs for services are usually less than a home health visit and significantly
less than a skilled nursing facility. Daily fees for adult day services
vary depending upon the services provided.

Assisted Living Communities
 Your
retirement planning should be based on understanding the options
associated with Assisted living. As part of a retirement plan these
options combine housing, support services and health care, as needed.
Assisted living is a retirement service for individuals who require
assistance with everyday activities such as meals, medication management
or assistance, bathing, dressing and transportation. Some residents
may have memory disorders including Alzheimer's, or they may need
help with mobility, incontinence or other challenges of senior life.
Residents are assessed to determine the level of service they may
need. These retirement services generally include: 24/7 supervision,
3 meals a day, housekeeping, transportation, minor medical attention,
personal care assistance, security and emergency call, exercise
programs, social and educational activities. In addition some Assisted
living communities may provide: gardens, libraries, and chapels.
Assisted living communities are operated by both profit
and non-profit organizations. Pricing can range from $1000 to over
$4,000 per month based on your location. There may be extra fees
for special services.
