Care Level Options

  1. "Levels of care include home care, adult day care, respite workers coming in to the home, assisted living, a care facility between assisted and nursing home, nursing home and hospice." LBDA

    By the time it became clear that we needed to consider placement in a care facility for the well being of my husband and myself, his needs were greater than what assisted living centers would meet.  So, he went into a care facility that offers more care than assisted living, but less than nursing homes.  I urge you readers to not wait before you check into what assistance you may need or want -- for yourself and for your loved one.  There are long waiting lists at many care facilities.  Please do not wait until your health is on the line from your caregiving.
