Care at Home: A Great Alternative to Nursing Home Care

Posted on Tuesday, October 20th, 2015 by

24HR HomecareThe first thought of most people when they hear about home care services is that it is a program for frail, older patients. While it is true that most patients fit this category of home care patients. Younger patients, even children may need help with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, and dressing. These patients need about a half-hour of personal, non-medical home care. However, most home health services have a 4 to 6-hour minimum daily requirement.

But, 24HR HomeCare has no such requirement, and can easily schedule a caregiver for as little as 30 minutes a visit. This is important as most health care policies do not cover non-medical home care visits. By having visits for as little as 30 minutes budgeting for home care, becomes much easier. From helping a kid in the morning to making lunch for your mother who lives with you, to all day or 24-hour care, 24HR HomeCare meets your needs in the most cost-conscience manner available.

American Board of Home Care Member

24HR HomecareThe reason for the creation of the American Board of Home Care (ABHC) was that a number health care providers’ were actually nothing more than matchmaking services. A client calls for someone to help with meals and an independent contractor is given the assignment.
