It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Start with some very minor changes. Get a smaller lightweight comforter (twin) even if you have a larger Queen or King bed. Get two. Use a lightweight twin blanket, or throw for extra warmth. Put the duvet away in a closet for awhile.
You do need to shower, even more. Because of your arms. Raise your elbow above your head and gently massage your upper arms with the warm water flowing over them. A few minutes. Learn self-massage for your pain.
Take a phone into the bathroom. Call a Senior Center about their calls they make to seniors. Maybe they will call you about 1/2 hr. to check on you after you are due to finish your shower. Anyone can "stand-by" on speaker phone while you shower.
Hire someone to come in and cook a weeks meals for your freezer. Shower at that time.
If you meet at least ADLs that you cannot perform then you qualify for facility LTC. If you meet Medicaid requirements then you will have the assistance that you need. You also have the option of selling off your home or assets to enter as private care then file for Medicaid
Press the FIND CARE TAB at the top of this page. Fill out the info and someone from A Place For Mom will be in touch with you concerning the home care you need.
It might now be much less expensive and for your best that you to go into a care facility, where all of your needs will be met and you won't have to worry about any of the things you can no longer do.
What country do you live in? If the US, then contact:
- your local Area Agency on Aging to connect with helpful resources - your county's social services to see if you qualify for some in-home help - Care.com to hire aids
What is the issue with your shoulder? Have you seen an orthopedist?
This site cannot provide ‘help at home’ for you, and it is not an agency for carers. It could be a good idea for you to think carefully about what help you really need, and how it would turn into some routines you could hire help with – and afford to pay for.
Are your physical problems ongoing or due to a temporary injury which will improve? You can hire household help or aides to assist with showers and personal care. If these are ongoing or progressing problems, you may need to change your living situation. You may benefit from moving to an assisted living facility. We could use more information to assist you and give you more advice. Can you explain if you have other disablities in addition to having trouble using your arms? Do you have trouble getting around (walking, getting to bathroom, getting out of bed, etc)?
