Is Home Still Safe for Mom and Dad?

Many older adults want to remain at home for as long as possible. The harder question for families is often whether staying home is still realistic and what additional support may be needed to make it work.

TrueGuide helps Central Ohio families look at the bigger picture, including safety concerns, daily routines, available support, caregiver capacity and changing care needs. Together, we can identify concerns, discuss possible solutions and determine whether remaining at home is still a reasonable option or whether other care options should be explored.

Guidance from a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®, Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP)®, Dementia Safety Specialist (DSS)™ and Senior Home Safety Specialist (SHSS)™.

Understand What's Changing

We talk through what you and your family are noticing at home such as falls, difficulty with medications, memory changes, missed meals, isolation, caregiver stress or increasing help with daily activities.

Explore Solutions

Sometimes additional support can help an older adult remain at home longer. We can discuss options such as home care, safety modifications, medical alert systems, transportation, community resources and other services that may help support independence.

Determine the Next Step

If staying at home is becoming difficult or unsafe, we help you understand what other options may be appropriate, including independent living, assisted living or memory care, and create a practical plan for what to do next.
