Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Care
Private in-home care, which Brookdale at Home offers, is a type of nonmedical care where an hourly caregiver provides support or companionship at a personal home or senior living community for seniors or anyone needing daily or weekly assistance. Some of the services Brookdale at Home offer are light meal preparation and/or housekeeping, errand service, assistance with bathing or dressing, pet care, medication set-up and reminders, and more.
Home health care is a type of skilled medical care, for those who qualify, that’s designed to help you recover from specific health situations, such as a medical procedure, or from a fall or illness. Home health care is often performed by a skilled nurse, rehabilitation therapist, home health aide or medical social worker. This kind of care requires a physician’s order and that you meet certain eligibility requirements in order to qualify. Medicare often will cover it.
For private at-home care, which Brookdale At Home provides, you don’t need a physician’s order or need to meet eligibility requirements in order to qualify. The type of care provided is less clinical focused, and instead is meant to provide support or assistance with activities of daily living, errands, meal preparation, and more. Medicare doesn’t cover this type of care, and instead you’re responsible for paying for it privately. Typically, you get to decide what services you need or want, as well as how often a caregiver comes to your house.
You do not need to meet any medical qualifications or receive a physician’s order to be eligible for private duty, at home care. As long as your service needs/wants match up with our agency’s scope of service, you should be eligible to receive care. Brookdale At Home provides a no-cost/no obligation evaluation of your needs or wants prior to starting services. To learn more, give us a call.
The cost for private in-home care does depend on certain factors like the amount of caregiver time you’re requesting per week and the types of services you want. If you are interested in pricing, reach out to a Brookdale at Home agency in your area.
