Frequently Asked Questions

Quality Care You Can Trust!

Your doctors and our team of home care nurses will work with you to make up your plan of care. This will outline what you will need from your services. Together you will assess:

  • What services you will need
  • A schedule that will fit your needs best
  • What types (if any) of medical equipment you will need
  • Any therapies you might need
  • Goals that you and your doctors feel can be achieved through services.

It is a proven fact that the speed of recovery is faster from the comforts of home.  Depending on your hours and insurance, home care could even be more affordable than a nursing home or other facility. Residing at home could also decrease the risk of infections and sicknesses transferring from patient to patient. With home care you can:

  • Recover faster
  • Reduce the chances for infections and the chances to get sick
  •  Recover from the comforts of your own home
  • Involve your family members in your recovery and care
  • Gain more independence while still getting the help you need

Here are some helpful questions to think about when choosing the right agency for your needs

  • Does the agency take my insurance?
  • Does the agency provide the services I need?
  • Who will supervise my services?
  • Will the agency work with my doctors?
  • Is there a back up plan for when a provider does not show up?
  • Are providers available during the hours I need?
  • How long has the agency been servicing the community?
  • Will the agency include my family members in my care plan?
  • Will my insurance cover services and supplies?
  • Do supervisors make regular home visits?
  •  Who is available to talk to regarding questions and concerns I may have?
We staff nurses who are available on an as need basis. They will not do providers services, however if there is a problem, or you are in need of medical attention such as adjusting medical equipment or changing bandages, they are here to help.
We have 4 field supervisors who are in charge of areas based on zip codes. Once a supervisor is assigned to you he or she will oversee your care. They will be in charge of hiring your providers and assessing the care as needed.
Our supervisors will make home visits as needed to assess situations. Situations such as a post hospital visit or an orientation of a new provider will require a supervisor to stop by. There will also be an annual visit in which the supervisor will assess providers who have been providing care for you.
If your provider is sick or just doesn’t come into work all you need to do is give us a call. Once we are aware of the situation we will begin working on getting a “floater” or “special attendant” to your house. Floaters/special attendants are providers who are on call and can go to any client if needed. We have several staffed and ready to help.

Medicare assesses your case every 60 days. At that time, if care is still needed, they will issue another authorization. When assessing your case, they will determine if more hours are needed, and supply them accordingly. If an emergency comes up with requires you to have more hours before the 60 days is up, you can speak to your case worker provided through Medicare. They will be able to see what that can do about getting additional hours set up.
