Mobile care for older adults
Written for the older adult making the decision personally, not for a family member arranging it — including how to keep control of who is told what.
This page is general information, not medical advice. It cannot tell you whether a service is right for you. A licensed provider decides what care, if any, is appropriate.
What this page will cover
- Deciding for yourself and who else is told
- Verifying who is arriving at your door
- Keeping your primary care team in the loop on your terms
- Medication lists and what to have out
- Cost when Medicare does not apply
- Questions to ask a provider
Questions this page will answer
- Do my children have to be involved?
- Will this be shared with my regular doctor?
- How do I know who is coming to my door?
