Many individuals prefer to receive the care they need at home, rather than in a board and care, assisted living or skilled nursing facility. To assist older adults, their families and others planning for or dealing with home care, we’ve created a twenty-page guide called the “Home Care Toolkit.”
Written in plain language, the Toolkit addresses the following topics, and provides blank forms for your use.

- Finding, Interviewing and Selecting Caregivers
- Things to Cover in a Written Contract
- Creating and Following a Care Plan
- Creating and Following a Care Log
- Medications and Log
- Important Contact and Other Information
- Handling Money; Tracking Mileage
- Inventory of Belongings
