What is Home Care?
Home Care is when you can get support and care from home from our trusted, experienced, and passionate caregivers. The services we provide are customized to fit your health-related needs.
What is the difference between Home Care and Home Health Care?
Home care is what we, Sweet Homemaker & Companion Agency, do. We go to our clients home and provide them with PCA (Personal Care Assistant) services that are non-medical but are health-related. Our caregivers and health aide workers make sure that our clients are in the right state of health, body and mind, through daily activities, such as exercising and going out into town, eating properly with meal plans, and daily medicine reminders. Home Health Care is when a certified, experienced health care worker, such as a nurse, comes to a client's home and helps them recover from an illness, surgery, injury, etc.
How much does Home Care cost?
Each Home Care plan is different. We recommend contacting us to see which customizable plan works for you!
How can I pay for Home Care services?
Typically, using insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid works the best, but there are programs and other ways to pay. These would include using a credit/debit card, using private health insurance (if applicable), or if you are a veteran you can go through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to apply for their VA Benefits. Contact us today to find out which one works for you!
Does your agency support and assist veterans?
