Home care can be covered through insurance. The different paths for reimbursement are as follows:

- Private Pay - individuals often pay privately, particularly those with assets above certain thresholds where they cannot qualify for public assistance programs like Medicaid.

- Managed Long Term Care - seniors qualify for home care benefits through the Medicaid Managed Long Term Care Programs in New York State like Aetna, Fidelis, and Senior Whole Health. We can help navigate these programs to better understand qualifications and access care.

- Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Program - seniors who qualify for a nursing home level of care can be eligible for this program, which provides around-the-clock care and other benefits like home modifications.

Our caregivers hold a Personal Care Aide Certificate, which means they successfully completed a New York State regulated course covering the following:

• Monitoring vitals, administering prescribed medications, assisting with personal hygiene, helping patients dress and groom, replacing sterile dressings, and even preparing meals. Advanced HHAs may even assist the patient in using specialized medical equipment (e.g., ventilators).
• Help clients with daily personal tasks at home.
• Follow the client’s care plan and report on progress.
• Tend to laundry, vacuuming, and other housekeeping activities.
• Manage the client’s schedule and doctors’ appointments.
• Arrange transportation to medical offices and other locations.
• Handle grocery shopping and meal preparation.
• Help clients maintain their social connections.
