INFORMATION FOR SENIORS

Ensuring a high quality of life for aging adults necessitates access to suitable living arrangements and appropriate levels of care. A nursing home is often the most viable solution when seniors can no longer live independently. These facilities offer residential care to individuals who do not require hospitalization but need around-the-clock care.

To assist seniors and their families, there is a comprehensive resource that delves into essential indicators that signal the need for nursing home care, the array of services offered, comparisons with alternative senior care options, associated costs, and how to locate suitable nursing homes in their vicinity.

Caring.com is a leading senior care resource for family caregivers seeking information and support as they care for aging parents, spouses, and other loved ones. We have been featured by AARP, The Administration for Community Living, The National Legal Resource Center, and Forbes, as well as referenced by many governmental agencies and organizations across the Internet.

National Aging and Disability Transportation Center – The National Aging and Disability Transportation Center (NADTC) is a technical assistance center focused on increasing transportation options for older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers, to enhance their ability to live more independently within their communities throughout the United States.

Paying for Assisted Living & Home Care in North Carolina – This website can be a tremendous help seniors learn more about assisted living, its costs, and the financial options available to pay for it within the state.

North Carolina Senior Living Communities | Senior Living Near Me (ecdol.org) – Our organization is dedicated to enhancing the lives of the elderly by providing them with access to comprehensive care, education, and resources that foster a dignified and fulfilling life.  In our continuous effort to support the well-being of the elderly in our community, we have developed a resource that we believe can benefit seniors and their caregivers.

The Seniors Guide to Housing – In this guide, we’ll discuss three options for senior living arrangements; remaining in your current home,  residential alternatives or a specialist housing environment.  We look at the different factors involved in each. We’ll also look at how to assess which is right for you on an individual level, as well as schemes and grants available to make funding your home and lifestyle possible.

Dementia and driving can be complicated. Obviously as the condition worsens, those with dementia will have to stop driving. We thought this was important information, so we made a guide that details the laws behind dementia and driving, what are signs of unsafe driving, how to talk to a person about quitting driving, and how a person with dementia can still maintain some independence.
