Frequently Asked Questions
The right type of care depends on your loved one's current health status, level of independence, and specific needs. Start by consulting with their doctor to assess their medical requirements, then consider their social and emotional needs. Our care providers can help you evaluate options during a consultation.
Assisted living provides help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management while maintaining independence. Memory care is specialized care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, offering secure environments and specialized programming designed for cognitive support.
Care costs vary significantly by location, type of care, and level of service needed. Home health care averages $25-50/hour, assisted living ranges from $3,000-6,000/month, and memory care typically costs $4,000-8,000/month. Many insurance plans and Medicare may cover some services.
Hospice care is appropriate when a person has a life-limiting illness with a prognosis of six months or less. The focus shifts from curative treatment to comfort and quality of life. Many people benefit from hospice care earlier than they expect, so don't hesitate to discuss this option with healthcare providers.
The most important thing is to be present and listen without trying to "fix" their feelings. Offer specific help like bringing meals or helping with errands. Respect their grief process - everyone grieves differently. Professional grief counselors can provide additional support and coping strategies.
