An elderly companion or senior sitter is a non-medical caregiver that can be there whenever and wherever clients need them whether that be full-time, part-time, 24/7. Care can take place in a variety of settings such as senior living housing, nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, etc., but most often takes place within a home setting. However, elderly sitters can only perform certain tasks that are not medically related or involve physical contact (such as ADLs), so their roles are generally limited to providing basic supervision and companionship that can also include light housekeeping and errands depending upon the agreement made with the caregiver.

Respite Care is temporary care of a dependent elderly, ill, or handicapped person, providing relief for their usual caregivers.

Private pay home care is a service provided to elderly individuals who are in need of assistance with day-to-day activities. A private pay home caregiver visits your home or the home of your loved one and helps with activities such as meal preparation, housekeeping, and personal grooming and hygiene. This form of home care consists of hourly rate care packages.

CAP/C exists to supplement rather than replace the formal and informal services and support already available to a child.

The Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) is a Medicaid Home and Community–Based Services (HCBS) Waiver Program.

The services are designed to provide an alternative to institutionalization for recipients in this target population who prefer to remain in their homes, and would be at risk of institutionalization without these services.

CAP/DA supplements rather than replaces the formal and informal services and supports already available to an individual. CAP/DA services are intended for situations where no household member, relative, caregiver, landlord, community/volunteer agency, or third party payer is able or willing to meet the needs of the recipient.
