I'm a senior living alone: How do I find help?

Call the local senior center. Ask them for advice getting help from a nursing assistant. Ask which place has good quality care and a good reputation. The Nursing assistant will come and do lighthousekeeping for you on the days you need her. It takes some time to evaluate you by a nurse and I'm sure Medicare covers it. Good luck...Please get the help you need😊🙏

@kaylin7 Medicare does NOT cover in home care without a medical need. That is a temporary service. For seniors needing help around the home, they can contact their state's department on aging or area agency on aging to find out about home and community based services programs or community care programs for seniors. I think many of the suggestions people have made are right on target. Many faith based communities now have ways to connect online or stream. Those are worth checking out as it is a way to have connections even if one cannot leave home. Good luck!
