Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between home care and home health care?
The big difference lies in the word “health”. Home health care requires a doctor’s orders and provides medical services by licensed professionals. Home Care provides non-medical services to assist individuals with daily living tasks and personal care.
Can you provide services in an Assisted Living Community or Nursing Home?
Yes, we provide services wherever a client may need us.
Are your services covered by Medicaid, Medicare or health insurance?
Because our services are non-medical in nature, they are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. Services are paid with private funds. Clients may be reimbursed if they have a long term care insurance policy or VA Benefits?
How does one qualify for VA Benefits?
To qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits, the client must meet the following:
- Over age 65
- A veteran, spouse of a living veteran, or surviving spouse of a veteran
- Served as “Active Military” status for 90 days during an approved time of war
- Received an honorable discharge
- Meets income requirements
- Requires assistance with bathing, grooming, meal preparation, etc. on a regular basis in order to stay independent at home or in chosen place of residence
