I need help with finding out costs for senior adult care?

Hi i have looked and it see mes RATES are not given for senior adult care homes in california i realize they differ but does anyone have a loved one in foster care they know about how much it is? Thanks

I dealt with our local Area Agency on Aging in my previous job and found them to be very helpful. Their advice is free and many of your questions about Adult Day Care can be answered there. The website is n4a.org if my link doesn't work. Look for the services available in California to get the help you need.

They also have information on all these things you might need:

Caregiver Programs, Case Management, Elder Abuse Prevention Programs, Emergency Response Systems, Employment Services, Financial Assistance, Home Health Services, Home Repair, Home Modification, Information and Referral/Assistance, Legal Assistance, Nutrition Services, Personal Care, Respite Care, Senior Housing Options, Senior Center Programs, Telephone Reassurance, Transportation, and Volunteer Service.

Here's a link to the Area Agency on Aging office in California, by counties.

    you can put out an ad that asks for a Sr companion.
    State what you are willing to pay.They will come to your house.
    There are day programs where you can drop them off…but I found the getting in and out of the car for my mom became very stressful
    call Aging Services in your town they will help you like crazy :)

    Check with your local hospital's Social Service Director. He/she should be able to direct you.
