“I love this home care. My grandma has been with this agency for the past 7 years and she never had a problem/ bad experience. They always prompt on substitutes if needed or any updates that are happening at the agency. ”

V. S.

True Care really does care about their clients. It’s taken a little while to get to the aid that I currently have but she’s irreplaceable and hard working. Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to is professional and kind. I’m very thankful that we found this agency because there are a lot of Home Care agencies out there but very few that really care, consider their clients and ultimately want what’s best for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a home health aide?

A home health aide (HHA) is a trained caregiver who provides assistance to individuals in their own homes. They help with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, and light housekeeping. HHAs may also provide companionship and emotional support to clients.

How do I hire an HHA?

Contact us to hire one of our HHAs. We will discuss your unique needs and preferences. We have a pool of specially trained HHAs equipped to meet your
needs.

Can I choose my caregiver?

Yes, you have the option to choose your caregiver. You can select the HHA you feel
comfortable with. If you are receiving home care services through a program like New York’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), you can hire a family member or friend as a paid caregiver.

Does insurance cover home health aide services?

The coverage for home health aide services varies depending on the type of insurance you have. In some cases, Medicare may cover home health aide services if they are deemed medically necessary by a healthcare professional and provided by a certified agency. Medicaid may also cover home health aide services for eligible individuals. Additionally, private health insurance policies may offer coverage for home health aide services, but it is important to check with your specific insurance provider to understand what is covered.

Can a home health aide administer medications?

Yes, home health aides can assist with medication reminders and help clients take their prescribed medications. However, it’s important to note that HHAs are not licensed to administer certain medications, such as injections or controlled substances. In such cases, a licensed nurse or healthcare professional may need to be involved. It’s crucial to communicate your medication needs and ask the agency or caregiver about their qualifications and any limitations they may have in administering medications.

Please note that these answers are general and may vary depending on specific circumstances, insurance coverage, and state regulations. It’s always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or agency for personalized and accurate information regarding home health aide services.
