An introduction to care services

Regardless of where you live, you may need support and care from various medical and non-medical sources. This can include hospitals, skilled nursing or rehab facilities, home healthcare organizations, and personal care services in and out of the home. 

These systems work together to support people as they age, with a wide variety of services to meet individual needs. You can start at any point, switch between services as needed, use multiple services at a time, or even skip certain services entirely. Learning about these support services early can help you think more creatively about your options and make better decisions.
