What is home care?
Most people prefer to stay at home and get the help or services they need in familiar surroundings. They often rely on family, neighbors, or friends. Sometimes, though, paid help is needed.
Home care services include things like Meals on Wheels, adult day services, nursing care at home, housekeeping services, and relief for caregivers.

1-800-262-2232. Text telephone users may call the TTY number at 1-888-720-1925. These are toll free calls.
