Dear Friends of Home Aides of Rockland:
This is the fourth edition of the Directory of Products and Services for Elders and Family Caregivers published by Home Aides of Rockland. The idea for a directory emerged in response to the increasing number of inquiries we receive on a regular basis for a particular product or service that would enhance our clients’ lives. The information contained within serves as a source of practical advice and reference for our clients, their caregivers, and members of the general public who seek information on a variety of products and services for the elders in their lives. We think you will find the Directory of great value. We in Rockland County and the surrounding region are fortunate to have a professional community of individuals and organizations committed to providing high-quality approaches to meeting the healthcare, social, housing, legal, nutritional and financial needs of our burgeoning older adult population, many of whom are represented within these pages. Organized alphabetically by service or product type, the Directory also includes an index by Advertiser to make it easy to find a particular service or product by business name. We are extremely grateful to all of our advertisers for supporting this project and understanding that the marketing or advertising dollars spent here help to keep our frail elderly, chronically ill and disabled neighbors safely in their homes. The funds raised from this Directory support the programs and services of Home Aides of Rockland, including our Reduced Rate Home Care Program. For over 46 years, this “sliding scale” program has made it possible for elders to age in place. An enormous thank you to Arlene Levine of Arlene Levine Design for sharing her creativity and expertise in producing this Directory. Wishing all the privilege of aging peacefully in the comfort of your homes Cecilia Halverson Cecilia Halverson, Executive Director BOARD OF DIRECTORS

PROVIDE ASSISTIVE DEVICES FOR SAFETY To make an older adult’s home safer for nighttime, using the proper equipment and assistive devices can make their lives so much easier. The number one reason older people get out of bed at night is to use the bathroom. Installing grab bars and a raised toilet seat in the bathroom can make a huge difference. 26

Directory of Products & Services CAREGIVER SUPPORT RESOURCES Family caregivers are often over-burdened and under-informed: they need access to the best caregiving resources to support them in the caregiver role. The following is a list of helpful internet caregiving resources. 1. AARP (www.aarp.org/home-family/caregiving/) AARP’s Caregiving Resource Center provides family caregivers with information, tools and resources to help them on their caregiving journey. The site also provides access to caregiving experts in various issue areas, who provide information through blogs, webinars and oneon-one interaction through social media channels. Family members and friends can find a supportive online community that offers a safe space to connect with others experiencing similar challenges as they care for a loved one. 2. Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org) Specializing in caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, the Alzheimer’s Association has links with details on what to expect for each disease stage. It also explains behaviors specific to Alzheimer’s and links caregivers to local respite care and activities, legal and financial advice and resources, and local caregiver support groups. Also included are pragmatic stress tests and caregiver message boards. 3. Alzheimer’s Foundation (www.alzfdn.org) The Alzheimer’s Foundation provides online tips, a toll-free hotline, educational and social services, professional development, advocacy and grants, as well as a link for teens to connect, educate others and support caregiving teens. The Foundation puts its stamp of approval on facilities that meet their strenuous standards for good care for those with Alzheimer’s, hosts a national memory screening day and a national brain game challenge. 4. American Association of Caregiving Youth (www.aacy.org) The American Association of Caregiving Youth is geared toward supporting the 1.4 million children and teens who are caregiving for parents and grandparents. They provide counseling and support services, education and advocacy. The Association works directly with schools to help students remain academically successful while they are in the caregiving role. 5.
