CareWell Services Information and Assistance Team

CareWell Services Southwest, the Region 3B Area Agency on Aging for Calhoun and Barry counties, helps caregivers make a loved one’s home safer through its Care Management and Information and Assistance services. For families worried about falls and hazards, CareWell offers professional guidance and connections to the supports that reduce risk.

Through Care Management, a professional assesses the person’s needs and home environment and arranges services that can improve safety — personal care, medical equipment from CareWell’s free Durable Medical Equipment Closet, hearing and vision services, and connections to home modifications — coordinating an ongoing plan that adapts as needs change. Information and Assistance and Options Counseling help families understand and choose among options. Because falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, having a professional assess the home and arrange equipment and modifications is high-value, often-overlooked help. CareWell’s mission centers on promoting health, independence, and choice for seniors, people with disabilities, and caregivers.

This resource matters because assembling home-safety help alone is daunting, and professional care management turns that into a coordinated plan — often connecting families to free equipment and partially covered services. For caregivers in Calhoun and Barry counties focused on home safety, CareWell is the natural first contact.
