What are the costs associated with in-home care?
The expense varies based on the type, location, and level of care required. At C.A.R.E., we offer a complimentary care consultation to explore various payment options and provide guidance on financing home care for your loved one.
Can I select my caregiver?
Your Care Coordinator will collaborate with you and your loved one to choose the most qualified caregiver. They will thoroughly assess your care plan to match the caregiver’s skills with the specific needs of each client, aiming for complete satisfaction with our services.
How soon can in-home care commence?
The timeframe for initiating care depends on the urgency of the senior’s needs. Discussing care requirements, location, start date, and budget with a provider is crucial. Whether for a few hours weekly or continuous care, a tailored care plan will be developed based on the senior’s and family’s needs.
Does Medicare cover in-home care?
Traditional Medicare does not cover continuous 24-hour care, meal delivery, or non-care-related homemaker services. Custodial and personal care, assisting with daily living activities, are only covered if they are part of a broader care plan.
Are Veteran’s benefits applicable to in-home care?
Home Based Primary Care is included in VA Medical Benefits. Enrolled Veterans qualify if they meet the clinical criteria, ensuring accessibility to the service when needed.
