SLED Opportunity · PENNSYLVANIA · NORTHAMPTON COUNTY
AI Summary
Northampton County seeks personal assistance services to support older adults in maintaining independence, supplement health and social services, and provide temporary caregiver relief.
The Northampton County Area Agency on Aging expects personal assistance services to benefit older adult County residents in the following ways: By assisting individuals who have frailties, illnesses or disabilities to maintain self-sufficiency in familiar home surroundings in order to help them avoid unnecessary placement in a nursing home or other institution. By supplementing and/or complementing the professional services of other social agencies necessary in providing protective care programs for appropriate older individuals. By supplementing professional health services through provision of necessary personal assistance for individuals during their physical rehabilitative processes, thereby helping promote facility in self-management and activities of daily living. By establishing a favorable home climate for older adults and terminal care patients thus helping them to return home from hospitals or other institutions without unnecessary delay. By providing temporary care for older adults needing protective oversight in order to lessen the stress on the usual caregiver, and to free that person for other responsibilities during periods of family crisis. In all cases, the objective of personal assistance service is to enable the consumer to live with as much dignity and as much independence as his or her condition permits.
