How can I pay for senior home care?
The most common way to pay for senior home care is private pay. But certain senior care services may be covered by insurance benefits, such as long-term care, veterans benefits such as Aid & Attendance, government programs like Medicaid and some Medicare Advantage plans.
How do I know if my loved one needs in-home senior care?
Some of the biggest signs that someone may need assistance at home include a change in bathing habits or personal hygiene, mobility issues or falls, decline in vision or hearing, unexplained weight loss or gain, forgetfulness or memory issues, missed medical appointments or loneliness. Fill out the contact form on our website if you’d like to inquire about whether your loved one could benefit from in-home senior care.
What are some common tasks that a senior caregiver performs?
FirstLight caregivers can assist clients with tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, bathing, going to the restroom, walking or climbing stairs, getting in/out of bed or a vehicle, eating or drinking. They can also help with cleaning, laundry, organizing bills, grocery shopping, meal preparation, picking up prescriptions and taking medication on time, traveling to doctor’s appointments, attending social events and more.
What are the benefits of home senior care vs an assisted living facility?
Allowing clients to age in their home rather than an assisted living facility provides the chance to maintain comfort, dignity and independence.
