Q: WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
A: Companion care and personal care services are designed to assist in the activities that elderly or disabled people need to be able to stay at home safely and with dignity. These may include medication reminders, light housekeeping, grooming or bathing assistance, and running errands.
Q: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
A: This would depend on the needs of each client. Call today for a free consultation.
Q: HOW DOES THE COST OF A PLUS HEALTH CARE COMPARE WITH ASSISTED LIVING OR NURSING HOME CARE?
A: The average A Plus Health Care service runs about 1/3 the cost of an Assisted Living Facility and less than ¼ of what the skilled nursing facility would cost.
Q: DO YOU ACTUALLY PROVIDE SERVICES IN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES?
A: Yes. People sometimes discover that the assistance provided in an assisted living facility is not enough to enable them to remain independent. In these cases, A Plus Health Care provides a person to make this possible. In some states you are allowed to hire private help in an assisted living facility – or nursing home for that matter.
Q: WHAT DOES THE TERM “AGING IN PLACE” MEAN?
A: This refers to the ability of any person to grow old in their own home or that of their family. It is the opposite of institutional residential care like a nursing home. Sometimes it may mean the ability, with extra help, to stay in an assisted living facility as well.
Q: HOW QUICKLY CAN SERVICES BE PROVIDED?
A: Generally services can be provided within a 48-hour period and often the same day.
Q: HOW ARE EMPLOYEES SELECTED?
A: We carefully screen potential employees during the interview process and thoroughly investigate their reference and work history. Background checks are verified on each employee we hire. Qualifications include trustworthiness and a strong desire to help our clients.
Q: CAN I CHANGE THE SCHEDULE IF I HAVE APPOINTMENTS?
A: Changes are easily accomplished with as little as a few days’ notice. Our philosophy is to make the schedule work for the family not the agency. You come first. Your needs, your requests, your schedule. We will do everything possible to make sure the schedule you want is the schedule you get.
Q: WOULD I ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GET THE SAME PERSONAL CARE ATTENDANT?
A: We will make every attempt to schedule a regular attendant. If the regular PCA is ill or cannot make it for any reason, a backup person will be provided.
Q: HOW DO I START SERVICES?
A: Use our office locator to call one of our seven offices. We will have our staff come to your home and conduct a free, no obligation consultation. We will, at your direction, identify caregivers who have the skills, personality and availability to assist you. You then will be able to meet the caregiver and if you approve, they will begin working for you.
