STAY AT HOME




HOME DELIVERED MEALS

Home-delivered meals are nutritious meals that are delivered to homebound
seniors aged 60 years or older and their spouses. The drivers who deliver the
meals make daily contact and check on the well-being of the seniors they visit.

Home-bound seniors are able to remain in their homes in part because of the
delivery of hot, cold, or frozen meals.

   program or prepare a meal at home

UPCOMING CLASSES:

POWERFUL TOOLS FOR CAREGIVERS

In the six weekly classes, caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools to:
reduce personal stress; change negative self-talk; communicate their needs to
family members and healthcare or service providers; communicate more effectively
in challenging situations; recognize the messages in their emotions, deal with
difficult feelings; and make tough caregiving decisions. Class participants also
receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class.

Here is a short video that showcases the PTC caregiver class experience, with
thanks to our Class Leaders in Ontario.




HOMEMAKER

Persons eligible to participate or to receive services are individuals 60 years
of age or older.

Homemaker services provide care for older persons to help them maintain,
strengthen, and safeguard their personal functioning in their own homes with:

 * Housekeeping
 * Meal planning and preparation
 * Essential shopping
 * Personal errands
 * Banking and bill paying
 * Medication management
 * Restrictions with bathing and washing hair


RESPITE

In-home respite is a service designed to encourage and support efforts of
caregivers to maintain functionally or cognitively impaired persons at home.
Paid respite staff and volunteers provide companionship or personal care
services, or both, when needed and appropriate for the care recipient and the
caregiver.

Respite services may include, but are not limited to, the following:

 * Meeting emergency needs
 * Restoring or maintaining the physical and mental wellbeing of the caregivers
 * Providing socialization for the care recipient

Eligibility

 * The care recipient shall have physical or cognitive impairments affecting
   Activities of Daily Living or Instrumental Activities of Daily Living
   functioning to the extent twenty-four (24) hour care or supervision is
   required.
 * A caregiver sixty (60) years of age or older residing with an eligible care
   recipient who is under sixty (60) years of age is eligible to receive
   Respite.
 * A caregiver under sixty (60) years of age residing with an eligible care
   recipient aged sixty (60) years or older is eligible to receive Respite.
 * Eligibility Determination
 * Highest priority shall be given to caregivers of care recipients who have the
   greatest degree of physical or cognitive impairment and who are lacking
   informal supports other than the regular caregiver.




TRANSPORTATION

Transportation services are designed to transfer persons 60 years of age and
over to and from social services, medical and health care services, meal
programs, places of employment, senior centers, shopping, civic functions, adult
day care facilities, and recreation locations.

Service is to be available to those who have no other means of transportation or
who are unable to use existing transportation. Preference is given to older
minorities and those with limited economic resources. Personal assistance for
those with limited physical mobility is provided.

With very limited funds available to fund transportation services, some area
agencies may expand the services available to this population by buying into
existing transportation systems that provide more extensive transportation
services
