HELP COMES IN MANY FORMS


Listed below are a few of the many options that might be available to you.  Contact our Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at 240-777-3000 to find out more about resources in your community.

 

Adult Day Care Centers:  Social, recreational and health services in a safe environment for people who cannot be left alone during the day.  Studies show that Adult Day Care improves cognitive functioning and mood for individuals that attend, and reduces self-reported stress for caregivers.

 

Respite Care:  Short-term relief to families caring for disabled family members.  A qualified person takes care of your loved one, in your home or outside, so that you can get a break.

 

In-Home Aide Services:  Assistance with non-medical activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and other personal care activities.

Home Modifications:   Home improvements that increase safety, ease of use, security and independence.

Escorted Transportation:  Rides and an escort for people who do not have private transportation and who are unable to use public transportation.

 

Support Groups:  Sharing information, feelings, and advice.  Support groups can be in-person, by telephone, or over the internet.

Hospice:  Care of terminally ill people that emphasizes symptom management and emotional support.
