From the very beginning, we wanted to keep things simple. We wanted to provide the most personalized service available, so our clients could stay at home comfortably for as long as they choose. After taking a look at how home care was structured both at home and around the world, we found one resounding theme among home care recipients: people want consistency and customization. For this reason, we implemented our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept and assigned each client to their own Care Coordinator. We went a step further by keeping case loads for Care Coordinators as small as possible, so that they have ample time to get to know all of their clients. In line with our mission to provide the highest degree of personalization, all of our Care Coordinator are available to clients, their families, and caregivers 24/7. They manage and update each client’s ever-changing care plan, communicate with caregivers, and make home visits as frequently as ne cessary. Our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept is an extension of our emphasis on customization and consistency. After an initial assessment and caregiver placement, we focus on keeping the same caregiver or team of caregivers in place. In this manner, the same, knowledgeable staff is ever-present and random caregivers are never sent. Should there ever be a change in the regular caregivers for any reason, the Care Coordinator or Primary Caregiver will personally introduce the new caregiver to the client. Our client’s comfort is our top priority and we believe home care should not be characterized by a revolving door of providers.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-Term Care Insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living.Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Deerfield seniors who prefer to age in place in their own homes can access a wide range of free and low-cost programs and services offered through local government agencies and nonprofit organizations. These services include home meal delivery, health insurance counseling and help with home repairs.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
