In recognition of the escalating cost of home care and the desire of elders to age in place in home-like settings, the homesharing model was developed as an alternative to expensive home care and equally expensive medical, institutional settings. The Homesteads at Cushing and Owls Head rent rooms to individuals who desire this accommodation. Home health care is provided, when needed, by ASK… for Home Care, a licensed home health care provider, or other individuals or providers, including services that may be covered by insurance. Not only do the Homesteads provide short term accommodations as respite for family caregivers (by the hour, day, or month), but they also provide long-term accommodations (by the month) for individuals who want to live in a supportive setting, where they can age in place successfully.
