In-Home Services

Personal Care Services

The Area Agency on Aging provides assistance in the home for the disabled or frail elderly under the supervision of a Registered Nurse.  Certified Home Care Assistants assist these individuals with their activities of daily living:  bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.  Since transportation is such an important activity, transportation for shopping is, also, available under this program.  Medicaid individuals who meet certain medical criteria are eligible to receive this service at no cost.  This service is, also, available to VA clients, non-Medicaid eligible individuals on a private pay basis, and may be covered by some Long Term Care insurances and a Medicaid waiver.

Our Home Care Assistants not only provide the necessary assistance with activities of daily living, but they, also, provide one-on-one attention for social interaction and a sense of belonging and being cared for.

This program allows individuals to remain as independent as possible in the comfort of their own homes.

Homemaker Services

Our Homemaker service provides for basic upkeep and management of the household by providing assistance with tasks such as:  menu planning, bill paying, essential shopping, and housework.  Individuals who are eligible under the Elderchoice Medicaid waiver program are eligible for this service at no cost to them.  This service is, also, available on a private pay basis.

Respite Services

Our Respite services provide temporary relief to persons providing long term care in their homes.  Relief may be provided to address an emergency need or for scheduled relief based on the caregiver’s routine needs.  This service is provided at not cost to those eligible under the Medicaid waiver program.  It is, also, available on a private pay basis.
