Elder care can be complicated. In the end you just want something that will ensure that you or your loved one is going to get the attention that they need. Here are some of the different types of care that are available to meet those needs.

Full Time Care

Full time care is can be offered by either informal or formal care givers. This is round the clock care and typically involves the care giving living with the person receiving the care. If the full time care is given by an informal care giver this may mean that the care giver must give up their job or other source of income in order to provide the care.

Full time care can be formally given either at home with a live in care giver or at a long term care facility. Many times when care needs have progressed to this point formal care is a better option if the means are available to provide it.

Part Time Care

Part time care often means daily visits from medical professionals or other services like providing meals and cleaning. Part time care can be administered at home or in a care facility by either informal or formal care givers.

Intermittent Care

This is the least level of attention that is needed and in the case of a medical condition, may need formal medical assistance. Family care givers can also provide this level of care if needed.
