Add another resource to your patient and caregiver toolbox. The Alliance for Care at Home recently announced a new section to their CaringInfo.org page – “Planning for In-Home Care.” CaringInfo is the Alliance’s patient and caregiver facing page that provides free resources to educate and empower consumers to make informed decisions about home, serious illness, and end-of-life care and services.
According to their recent weekly newsletter “While CaringInfo began with a focus on serious illness and end-of-life care and support, the program’s content is expanding to provide information and resources on the full spectrum of home-based care services in alignment with the Alliance’s membership.”
Items to help patients and caregivers consider In-Home Care include:
- When is it time to get help with home care?
- Preparing for in-home caregivers
- Types of in-home caregivers and care services
- Find a carer: home care Agencies vs Independent Care Professional
- How to pay for home health care
- How to employ in-home caregivers…legally
