Skilled home care would include nursing, therapy and other services, along with empowerment and support for patients and caregivers, to help people recover, regain their independence and be safe at home.<\/p>\n

Non-skilled home care (non-clinical services) would include assistance with daily living tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and light housekeeping, in order to help people remain safe, independent and empowered at home.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Who is home care for?” _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Naturally, making the right decision for the care of a loved one is an important decision. Home care is often a viable solution. This process begins with a careful evaluation of the patient\u2019s unique and specific needs.<\/p>\n

Home care generally falls into two categories: Skilled care and personal care<\/strong>. Skilled care is medical care provided by nurses, therapists (physical, occupational, and\/or speech), and\/or social services ordered by a physician. Skilled care is typically paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or private pay. Custodial care, on the other hand, is care provided by home health aides to assist with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and light cleaning. Custodial care is typically paid for through private pay or community waiver programs. FirstChoice<\/strong> can help you verify your benefits and coordinate coverage and billing options.<\/p>\n
