non medical in home caregiver HOW TO FIND A CAREGIVER
A geriatric-care manager can help in this search.
These professionals typically charge about $60 to $150 an hour; to find a private care manager,
consult the National Association for Professional Geriatric Care Managers at
http://www.findacaremanager.org
Some private groups, such as Catholic Charities or Jewish Family Services, provide senior case management.

For referrals, contact your Area Agency on Aging, reachable through the Eldercare Locator at
http://www.eldercare.gov
Faith in Action, an interfaith foundation-funded long-term care voluntarism initiative, can sometimes provide volunteers to cook, run errands and so on; see
http://www.fiavolunteers.org.

The National Association for Home and Hospice Care, a trade group at
http://www.nahc.org/,
offers an online locator for in-home service providers by area.
For other suggestions, a useful brochure on long-distance elder care is "Handbook for Long-Distance Caregivers," available free at
http://www.caregiver.org


Finally, remember that in-home assistance is not the beginning of the end.
Rather it's an active step to prolong your elder parents' ability to live in their lifelong home for as long as possible. Hiring an in-home caregiver is a proactive step that can help the elderly continue to lead healthy, active and happy lives.
