Are home health aides able to give medication?

Although it varies from state to state, most do not allow home health aides to administer medications. A home health aide can remind clients when to take their medication and open prescription bottles. Caring People offers a special medication management program for clients who require more assistance than a home health aide can provide.

What should I expect on the first day?

Our home health aide will arrive at your home on the first day of service with a complete understanding of your needs. You can also expect our nurse to meet with you on your first day of service to learn about your health needs, create your personalized plan of care, and to obtain authorization for our services.

How do home health aides get paid?

All home health aides are Caring People employees, who are paid directly by the agency every two weeks.

Does Medicare cover home care from Caring People?

As a private pay home care agency, we do not accept Medicare payments.

What are my options for paying?

Homecare can be paid for in a number of ways. Customers often pay for homecare services using ACH or credit card. ACH allows for direct debit from your checking account, eliminating the need to write and send checks. The use of credit cards will be subject to fees. Every two weeks, clients are charged for services.

Does my long-term care insurance cover my care?

If you have a Long-Term Care Insurance Policy, your first step should be to verify your coverage. You will need to determine if there is a deductible, what the criteria is for meeting it, as well as what your daily benefit is. The next step is to understand the limitations of using your health insurance policy to pay for your care. Navigating these benefits is a challenge, but members of our finance department can assist with verifying and maximizing the utilization of your benefits. A few of our locations accept an Assignment of Benefits. Our insurance specialist can assist you with reimbursement from your long-term care policy.

What are your screening procedures for employees?

In recognition of how stressful the process of allowing strangers in your home can be, we have developed a rigorous 5 step screening process for all our caregivers. We hire only home care professionals who are background checked and have experience in home care. The applicant must interview with several members of our team and provide recent, verifiable references. Applicants must also undergo competency testing and orientation conducted by the company. The screening process has proven to be effective, and we have an extremely high satisfaction rating.
