Q: How Can Services Like Yours Be Financed?

While medical insurance such as Medicare/Medicaid or HMOs often don’t cover long term care like our services, long term care insurance can be one means of paying for care services. Some families will also consider reverse mortgages to help with financing. Still other families pool their resources among siblings to help pay for care.

Q: What Areas Do You Serve?

We serve most areas in Palm Beach County.

Q: How Quickly Can Services Be Provided?

Initial intake (mandatory for services) can often be done on the day you call or by the next day. A caregiver can usually be identified within a day or two after that intake. Actual services can begin immediately after that interview.

Q: How Do I Start Services?

Give us a call at 561-832-6838 to discuss your needs and to schedule an intake, if appropriate. We can usually meet with you or your loved one within 24-48 hours. At that no-charge meeting we do a complete Health Profile and set up a schedule for care services. Then we would determine the caregiver with the most relevant skills, personality, and availability and introduce that caregiver to your loved one within a day or two after our meeting. Due to our low rates and high caregiver quality we only take full time (minimum 40 hrs/wk) cases.
