Virginians, I Need Some Assistance, Please!

[Demeter]

My dad had a stroke in Fairfax County. He won't move to a state with somebody from the family who can care for him.

What is available for disabled elderly in their own homes? We're talking:

Transportation
Home Help Care
Meals on Wheels
Assisted living facilities
Visiting Medical
Panic Button or Other Emergency Calling
Services for the Blind
Rehabilitation
Social Activity

and anything else I haven't learned about yet. I know all this in my own state, but Dad won't consider it.

Thanking you in advance!

1. Fairfax County has a lot of different options - here's a link

to get started until some Northern VA DUers chime in.

I grew up in the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County where a lot of elementary schools from my era are now elder care facilities. I'm now in Richmond, VA - 100 miles away so am not current with county programs. Good luck!
