2. Transportation Services

 

    • Carpooling to the appointments with the doctor

 

    • Support for shopping and other errands

 

3. Meal Services

 

    • Meal programs delivering (for example by Meals on Wheels)

 

    • Meal preparing assistance

 

4. Housekeeping and Home Maintenance

 

    • Basic home cleaning and laundry

 

    • Small house repairs

 

5. Social and Recreational Activities

 

    • Center programs for the aged people

 

    • Regional events for the seniors

 

Home health care is one of the most requested services among these, mostly that home health care allows the elderly to live on their own and yet they can retain their independence with the help from others when needed.
