Provide non-medical home care services.
"When you or a family member needs help due to an accident, illness, or worsening of a medical problem, finding help can feel like navigating in the dark.
Unfortunately, there are no national standards of care to guide families. You may have assumptions about what certain professionals can do to assist you only to find out that your specific state has restrictions on non-medical care."
To learn more about non-medical care, check this Spetember, 2022 article from Cake for more information. This is an informative article about non-medical home care. Cake offers a full online platform of end-of-life services. Read the following disclosure regarding their services.
Note this disclosure statement from Cake:
"Cake offers its users do-it-yourself online forms to complete their own wills and generalized educational content about wills. We are not attorneys and are not providing you with legal advice. Many users would be better served consulting an attorney than using a do-it-yourself online form. The fees for the advice of an attorney should not be compared to the fees of do-it-yourself online forms. We cannot give you customized advice on your situation or needs, which would require the service of an actual attorney. Any information you provide to Cake, and all communications between you and Cake, are not protected by an attorney-client privilege and are instead governed by our Privacy Policy. Usage of any form or other service on our website is subject to our Terms of Use."

"Many older Americans choose to move into some form of senior housing. But each year more and more choose to stay in their homes. It’s not a black-and-white choice, and whatever arrangement you choose, home care can dramatically expand your options."
An April 2023 article by AgingInPlace.org addresses the possible options and how to decide on direction.
"For many these days, the ideal approach to aging involves aging in place— staying in your home and taking the steps necessary to remain independent for as long as possible. Many are still choosing the better-known options: retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and other institutions designed to care for older people. But an increasing number of seniors are choosing to stay at home and get whatever help they need to remain there."
This article is a comprehensive look at the options to be considered.

"Devoted Guardians has been committed to improving the lives of seniors and disabled individuals in Phoenix since 2007. We are an in-home care provider of comprehensive home support services to help seniors and disabled individuals who need assistance with daily living."
"We Are Here to Help
At Devoted Guardians, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for the lives of seniors and disabled individuals, easing the stress on you and your family. Caring for an aging parent or disabled family member can be overwhelming, and most families simply aren’t prepared to provide the type of care their loved one needs. Choosing to place them in an assisted living or nursing care facility can be even more heartbreaking. If you are part of the “sandwich generation,” sandwiched between raising children and caring for elder parents or other aging family members, this can be a difficult time for you and your family."
