This service is provided by a variety of organizations in each county. They may be private for profit, private non-profit and public agencies. Examples are home health and home care agencies, councils or departments of aging, departments of social services, and hospitals. They are frequently listed under "Home Health Services" in the Yellow Pages of your telephone book.

In some limited situations a family member may be paid as a person's aide. That person would need to meet all the training and competency testing requirements of any other aide, and the agency providing and supervising the service would have to be willing to hire the family member. Some agencies choose not to use family members as paid service providers at all. Often it is not in the best interest of either the person needing help or the family member for that person to be the paid aide.

Depending on your particular needs and assuming you can no longer do these things for yourself, the aide can provide assistance with home management tasks such as: cooking, cleaning your immediate living area, laundry, shopping, bill paying and reminding you to take your medications. If you have lost all or part of your ability do your own personal care, the aide can help you with tasks such as: dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting and moving from place to place.

I wanted to escape New York but stay on the east coast. I wanted to go warmer rather than colder, and I was looking for a small, liberal arts school with a gorgeous campus and a Division III baseball program. Guilford had it all and happened to be in Greensboro.

You'll certainly want to ask that lender for a rate, but we encourage you to shop around just as you would for a new mortgage.

In most cases you will not lose your home or car during your bankruptcy case as long as your equity in the property is fully exempt. (see North Carolina bankruptcy exemptions) Even if your property is not fully exempt, you will be able to keep it, if you pay its non-exempt value to creditors in chapter 13. However, some of your creditors may have a "security interest" in your home, automobile or other personal property.

Relocating for retirement is a big step. Such a major move has the greatest potential for success when retirees move to an area with which they are already well-aquainted, and where family members or close friends can serve as a support network.
