These are the kinds of help SeniorLeaf groups under this heading. The names overlap in everyday speech and the differences change what you are buying, so each one says plainly what it covers.
Respite/Adult Day Centers
Centers that allow a loved one to drop off a senior in the morning and pick them back up in the evening. They are a licensed care provider that feeds and cares for a loved one for a day or several days while the family member goes to work or takes a rejuvenating respite from caregiving.
Medical Alerts & Monitoring
Care professionals who work with medical alert devices that are worn on the wrist or neck, or placed in the home. These devices notify loved ones when seniors have falls, and some can monitor vital signs and the wellness of a senior.
Fitness & Wellness
Facilities and services that cater to seniors, including the many senior programs offered in each state.
Caregiver Support
Usually government or not-for-profit individuals and agencies providing information and training for caregivers as they support their loved ones.
Alzheimer's & Dementia
Care professionals who understand the steps and provide testing, diagnostic tools, education, products, and services. Dementia is an overarching term for a range of symptoms affecting cognitive abilities, while Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia. Recognizing signs, testing, and diagnosis is usually the first step; education on living with the disease is second; and engaging in treatments is third.
Meals
Professionals who provide food for seniors who are usually homebound and need a delivered meal once or several times per week. Some are private pay; others are government funded.
Transportation
Professionals who provide transportation to and from places like doctor appointments, trips to the store, visiting a friend, and more.
Veterans Services
Usually government or not-for-profit individuals and agencies providing information and training for caregivers as they support their loved ones who are veterans.
Elder Abuse Prevention
State and local community hotlines that take phone calls about suspected abuse and will send individuals to investigate.
Medical Equipment (DME) & Supplies
Durable medical equipment includes items such as oxygen tents, nebulizers, CPAP machines, catheters, hospital beds, and wheelchairs (including power-operated vehicles used as wheelchairs). It also includes incontinence supplies, general nutritional supplies, and general medical supplies.
Funeral Services / Pre-Planning
Care professionals who handle and acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual and bring grieving family and friends together in support of one another. They handle the body and funeral or memorial services. Funeral pre-planning lets loved ones arrange the services in advance to ensure the exact final rites they wish, within the budget they planned for.
Legal Services
Attorneys with a license to practice law who serve seniors by setting up wills, trusts, Powers of Attorney, and other legal documents.
