Assisted Living or in-Home Care; How to Decide?
According to the Tri-County Office on Aging in Mid-Michigan, the best way to determine if you or your loved one is in need of Assisted Living is to: * First engage your loved one in the process from the beginning * Get a complete medical evaluation from a Geriatric Medical Doctor * Bring your loved one to the Tri-County Office on Aging, and obtain a complimentary assessment to determine whether Assisted Living is necessary The Tri-County Office on Aging of Lansing guides you through this difficult stage by focusing on creating a better quality of life for loved ones. One alternative is moving older adults into a senior apartment community and coupling this with in-home private duty care like that provided by Cypress Home Care of Greater Lansing.
