Home is where the heart is—a phrase that captures the comfort, familiarity, and security that our homes provide. For many, that feeling only deepens with age. However, as we move through different stages of life, maintaining that sense of comfort at home sometimes requires a little extra planning and support.
At Sun Health At Home®, we believe “home sweet home” should stay that way for life. As the only Continuing Care At Home (CCAH) program in Arizona, our mission is to help members live longer, healthier, and more independent lives—right where they feel most comfortable. We offer peace of mind by combining the freedom of staying at home with the security of lifelong care coordination and wellness support.
As you begin exploring options for your future, you may come across terms that are new or unfamiliar. Understanding this language can help you feel empowered to make informed decisions about your care and well-being. Here are a few key terms to know:
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
The tasks of everyday life. Basic ADLs include eating, dressing, grooming, getting in and out of a bed or chair, taking a bath or shower, and using the toilet.
Aging in Place
Choosing to stay in your home as you age, with the right plan and support in place instead of moving to a retirement community.
Continuing Care At Home (CCAH) Program
An innovative program that provides wellness support, care coordination, and financial protection that extends a member’s independence and provides peace of mind for the future.
Home Care
Nonmedical support provided in the home to help with daily activities.
Home Health
Medical care delivered by licensed professionals for wound care, medication management, or therapy services. Home health is prescribed by a physician and is often temporary or illness-based.
Long-Term Care Insurance
Coverage that helps fill the gap where Medicare or standard health insurance stops, especially for long-term care needs.
By learning these terms, you’ll be better equipped to navigate your options and make choices that support your long-term independence and well-being.
