Chore services" provide assistance for activities of
daily living which can no longer be done independently, such as grocery
shopping, light housework, laundry or meal preparation.
"Personal care" or "home care" services can help with dressing, bathing, toileting and housekeeping services.
"Home health" offers professional nursing, speech, physical and occupational therapies, and social services at home.
The Medicaid program, administered by the Washington State
Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), offers help for frail
elders on limited incomes. This program pays for personal care and other
services for people in their own homes, adult family homes and assisted
living facilities.
"Adult day services" provide varying levels of
health and social supervision for the person who has help at home -
perhaps from a family member or neighbor - but who needs support and
monitoring during the day.
A wide variety of services are provided by
adult day programs, including health monitoring, exercise, learning and
rehabilitative activities, nutritious lunch and recreational activities.
Adult day services can also be used to provide respite to care
providers.
"Respite services" focus on meeting the needs of
caregivers by providing them with time away from the responsibilities of
ongoing care of a disabled adult.
The care that is provided ranges from
companionship and supervision to care provided both in-home and in the
community.
"Transportation programs" provide transportation
at a discount for disabled and senior citizens. These include low-cost
bus and taxi services through city or county transit departments as well
as door-to-door van service through several public and nonprofit
agencies. Also, volunteer programs can often provide transportation to
medical and other essential appointments.
"Minor home repair" helps keep your home safe by
providing low-cost repairs for homeowners who meet certain low-income
requirements.
Plumbing, electrical and carpentry repairs are frequently
performed, and the program also allows for installation of safety
equipment such as grab bars in showers or construction of ramps or other
modifications to improve home access.
"Meals on Wheels" helps homebound seniors
maintain their independence by delivering nutritious frozen meals and
liquid nutritional supplements weekly. The "Mobile Market" program
delivers reasonably-priced groceries to seniors at home.To know more visit our site http://allindiayellowpage.com.
