About the program
Options Counseling is a free service. It can help an older person, an adult of any age with a disability, their family members, or caregivers make decisions on supportive services if they don’t know where to turn. Finding help with personal care, household chores, transportation, nutrition or medication management, can be challenging.
The choices can feel overwhelming. Do I:
- move in with family
- enter a nursing home
