The right solution isn't necessarily the same for every family.
Some older adults may be able to remain safely at home with additional assistance. Others may eventually need a residential community or skilled nursing environment.
The goal is to find the right level of support for the individual's needs.

Transportation for Older Adults
Transportation can become a major issue as older adults reduce or stop driving.
Greene County provides transportation programs designed to help residents access medical appointments, senior centers, and other destinations.
The county's Senior Shared Ride Program provides reduced-cost transportation for eligible older adults, while transportation to senior centers is available at no charge for qualifying Greene County residents age 60 and older.
The county also participates in the Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP) for eligible individuals traveling to medical appointments or authorized medical services.
For families caring for an older adult who no longer drives, transportation should be considered part of the overall care plan—not an afterthought.
Healthcare & Rehabilitation
Senior care decisions often overlap with healthcare decisions.
A hospitalization or significant health event may be what first prompts a family to explore:
Home care
Rehabilitation
Skilled nursing
Assisted living
Memory care
Hospice
When care needs change, families should work with their loved one's healthcare professionals to understand the medical needs and appropriate next steps.
CareFlow Partners can help families understand the care options, while the individual's healthcare team can help address medical questions and treatment decisions.
