According to a 2018 AARP survey, a majority of Americans over age 50 want to stay in their own homes as they get older.
“Many aging adults prefer to receive home health care as it allows them to age in place while still receiving the care they need,” says Danyel Darger, director of sales and marketing at The Overlook. “In-home services provided by Continuing Care Retirement Communities support both older adults and their family members.”
The Overlook’s Visiting Nurse Association extends into hundreds of Massachusetts towns and serves over 800 patients a day. Keep reading to learn about the services these patients receive.

Companionship and Emotional Support
Physical limitations and lifestyle changes can isolate older adults, which can lead to loneliness. Loneliness isn’t something to take lightly. It has a negative effect on physical well-being, mental health and cognitive function.
The Overlook Visiting Nurse Association provides social workers and therapists who will come to your loved one’s home to provide services. This could include regular visits to socialize, engage in activities, or offer therapeutic advice.
