Home Health Aide
Part time or intermittent services to help you with your daily living activities. Most insurers require that you meet the need for skilled nursing or therapy to qualify for this service. Our dedicated and reliable aides provide assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal care. Assistance with homemaking is limited to less than 10% of the time the aide will be with you. These visits will usually be from 45 - 90 minutes long, depending on the amount of physical assistance that you need.

Personal Care Aide
Personal care aide, personal care respite aide, and homemaker/personal care aide services fall into the category of aide services that are not dependent upon a patient requiring skilled care to receive services. These services are generally not covered by traditional Medicare and private insurance. These services are often paid for by one of the Medicaid waiver programs, long-term care insurance, or the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging PASSPORT program or Senior Options. and by the patient (private pay). They usually reflect a level of care that is designed to meet the long-term care needs for our clients.
