An emergency response system that helps you in the case of an emergency, such as if you have fallen and cannot get up or if you need medical, fire, or police help

Nursing and homemaker services to help with your medication, dressing, and bathing

Chore services to do your housework

Assistive devices that can help you with your hearing or walking

Adult day services and respite care that provide you with activities you can take part in during the day to give your caregiver a break

Transportation services to help you get to and from your doctor appointments or adult day center
