States with Home Health/Care Services in the United States
Home Health for Seniors – Services Near You
Use the Senior Living Guide listing directory above for convenient access to local home health services for seniors.
What is Home Care?
Home Care, or in home assistance for seniors, refers to a range of professional services designed to help individuals live safely in their own homes. These services can include everything from companionship for seniors to skilled nursing and various therapies supervised by a doctor.
Residential aged care may be required for seniors needing help with daily tasks, those with chronic illnesses, individuals recovering from injuries, or those with disabilities or special needs. Professional caregivers, such as aides, registered nurses, and therapists, provide these services on a short- or long-term basis, tailoring their support to each person’s unique situation.
What are the Benefits of In Home Assistance for Seniors?
The first benefit of home care, or in home assistance for seniors, is that it takes place at home, where a person feels most comfortable, safe, and secure. There are many other benefits to receiving care at home, including:
Convenience
Greater independence
Family participation in care, if desired, but also family respite
Personalized care plans with one-on-one attention
Faster recovery from illness or injury
A team of home healthcare professionals can act as liaisons between the patient, family, and doctor while offering a broad range of services
Less costly than a hospital, assisted living, or skilled nursing
What are the Types of Home Care?
There are three types of home care. Home care providers may offer one type of care or a combination of all three:
Personal Care—also called Companion Care or Non-Medical Care. This type of senior home care assistance service usually includes help with daily living, such as bathing, grooming, and toileting. It may also involve meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and companionship – time spent engaging in activities and hobbies of interest to the client. Personal care may be used as respite care for family members or as a long-term alternative to assisted living.
Private Duty Nursing—generally found through an agency or as a direct hire. Private duty nurses provide a wide range of services that can include medication administration, wound care, ventilator care, catheters, colostomy bags, and feeding tubes. Care may also involve basic hygiene, grooming, and light household duties. Private Duty Nursing is usually a long-term solution to ongoing care needs due to chronic illness or disability.
Home Health Care (must be prescribed by a doctor)—Home health care is usually prescribed because of a chronic illness, such as kidney failure or heart disease, or after a stroke, surgery, or other major health event. Medical professionals, including registered nurses, nurse aides, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists, may be necessary, all under a doctor’s supervision.
Unlike personal care and private duty nursing, Medicare may cover eligible Home Health Care, if the following conditions are met:
It is ordered by a doctor, is deemed medically necessary, and requires skilled services
The care is prescribed after an in-person, documented visit with the doctor occurring no more than 90 days before or 30 days after the start of home health care
A doctor-established plan of care, which includes the type, duration, and frequency of care, is reviewed regularly.
The care must be intermittent or short-term
The person receiving care must be certified by the doctor as homebound, or unable to leave home without the help of another person and/or the use of a wheelchair, walker, cane, or crutches because of an injury or illness
The agency providing the care must be Medicare-certified

What Are Dementia, Alzheimer’s, & Memory Care Senior Living?
Memory care senior living facilities offer long-term residential care options that feature specialized, around-the-clock support to older adults living with all types of dementia. Memory care, also referred to as Alzheimer’s care or dementia care, may become necessary once cognitive disorders reach a stage that makes living at home or receiving care at home too difficult. It’s common to find a memory care unit within an assisted living community, often in a specialized building or neighborhood. Memory care living accommodations may also be found in a Continuing Care Retirement Community, a Skilled Nursing Facility, a Nursing Home, or as a standalone entity or community.

States with Independent Living Communities in the United States
Find Senior/Adult Independent Living Communities Near You
Utilize the Senior Living Guide directory for easy access to local independent senior living residences and communities.
What are Senior Housing/Independent Living Communities?
Senior housing/independent living communities, often referred to as retirement communities, are designed for seniors (or older, retired adults) who can live independently without the need for personal or medical care assistance. Retirement senior living communities are typically mid- to large-sized campus-style environments that offer a variety of activities and conveniences for residents.
If this sounds similar to active independent living or a 55+ community, that is because independent living/retirement living and active adult communities share some core commonalities. These often include providing exterior home and lawn maintenance, planned social activities, communal spaces, and outdoor amenities such as tennis courts, golf courses, or swimming pools.
