With You
Home
is where the heart is, and with Tri-Valley’s help frail elders
wishing to stay home may do so. The right amount of essential services
are provided to support safe community living.
We
also work with caregivers to provide respite, which gives the caregiver
an opportunity to take a breather so that they may continue to be
effective.
Our
State Home Care Program is designed for the very purpose of allowing
elders to remain at home. Please call Tri-Valley if you are 60 or
older and feel you can no longer stay home safely without some assistance
or respite.
Individuals
under the age of 60 with a physician’s documented diagnosis
of Alzheimer’s Disease and who meet eligibility criteria including
having a caregiver are also eligible to receive Respite Care Services.
We
will set-up a time for a Care Manager to come out and visit with
you. The Care Manager will discuss your physical abilities, health
status, income eligibility and needs. Once eligibility and need
is established, you (and your family) may review the available services.
A
Care Plan will then be developed for you which may include:
•
Light housekeeping
• Laundry
• Shopping
• Meal preparation
• Home-delivered meals
• Money management assistance
• Transportation to medical appointments
• Personal care such as bathing.
• Visitors and telephone reassurance
• Personal emergency response
Some
services have no cost, most require a co-payment or a suggested
donation; some call for a full fee.
Your
Care Manager will set-up your services and continue to visit you
to see that your needs are being met.
A
variety of other services outside the home and may include: Adult
Day Health, Social Day Care and Dementia Day Care.
Be
sure to contact Tri-Valley Inc. for details about how home care
can make your particular situation most comfortable.
Your
contribution of even the simplest tasks can fulfill the Tri-Valley
mission:
to
“enable these persons to live in the most practically attainable
comfort, dignity and independence; and to avoid or postpone the
high personal or public cost of institutionalization.”
We’ll
help you make the most of your volunteer opportunity. We’ll
match the tasks that need to be done with your desires, your expertise
and your availability.
Ask
at Tri-Valley about volunteering and we’ll point the way to
exercise the compassionate spirit that is already inside you.
