How Can I Find Safe and Appropriate Homecare?

Answer
We are often asked if we can recommend a specific individual or agency to provide caregiving services for seniors and other adults who need support with activities of daily living. This is outside of our role as municipal employees. However, there are helpful databases that can assist residents in finding homecare resources that meet their needs. For links to these resources, and a list of considerations when hiring someone to provide homecare, please click HERE.
