What to watch for with in-home care near Downtown/Mile Square

Non-medical home care is generally private pay. Medicare does not cover it. Get your state's CareScout non-medical caregiver hourly median.
Medicare-covered home health is intermittent and skilled — nursing visits, physical therapy — not a caregiver who stays with your parent.

Downtown/Mile Square specifically

Downtown families often prioritize proximity to a specific hospital system over neighborhood character, since several major systems have campuses within walking distance of each other here.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

Questions families ask

What should I do after a parent's first fall?

Treat it as a signal, not an accident -- a first fall is one of the strongest predictors of the next one. Get the cause investigated (medications, vision, inner-ear issues), fix the immediate environment, and ask CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions about equipment-lending programs.

What should I do right after a dementia diagnosis?

Slow down -- very little has to be decided the first month. Get the specific diagnosis type, since Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia progress differently, and put power of attorney and medical power of attorney paperwork in place now, while capacity is clear.

I live out of state. How do I manage my parent's care from a distance?

Build a plan that survives a bad-weather week when you cannot fly in. Recruit local eyes such as a Meals on Wheels driver or trusted neighbor, get medical power of attorney and HIPAA authorization in place, and establish one local point of contact, such as CICOA or a geriatric care manager.
