Long-term care facilities. AEA deals with nursing homes and other long-term care facilities on a regular basis and can evaluate which building and staff best fits the needs of a specific elder, based on social, financial, and health criteria.

In-home care. A growing movement in the United States, and what appears to be the approach that will be taken for the foreseeable future, is to provide care and support of elders in their own homes for as long as they can live somewhat independently.

The greatest advantage to this concept is that the elder continues to live at home, rather than in a home. The challenge is that elders frequently experience a need for care, concern and support that their immediate family may not be able to provide.

Often, the family of an elder is too concerned with children, jobs and the daily challenges and tensions of their own lives to become actively involved in the management of their elder loved-one's needs.

AEA has a network of providers that meet its exacting criteria to call on when in-home care is determined to be the best alternative.
