Finding the Right Program

Planning ahead for long-term health care needs can reduce stress and ensure that personal choices are observed and that financial resources are put to best use. Planning ahead is never easy, but skilled staff at the Area Agency on Aging Region 9 can help you explore your options and develop a plan. A professional long-term care consultant (a Registered Nurse or a Licensed Social Worker) will meet with you and your family for a free in-home evaluation of your current situation and future options. He or she will explain services available, discuss eligibility requirements and how best to meet your needs and wishes.

We are fortunate to have many resources in our community for the aging. Sifting through numerous resources and information becomes frustrating at best. Let the Area Agency on Aging’s professional staff guide you through your available options to meet the needs of you or your loved ones care.
