At Accountable Home Care, we understand that in efforts to keep a family member safe at home we may not be your only resource. Non-medical home care service support such as Accountable Home Care works well in conjunction with other ancillary services. Often times additional supportive services are required hence, we have compiled a few senior care resources.

Medicare Home Health Care Services
If you are under the care of a primary care physician or a sub-specialist such as a neuorlogist or orthopedic surgeon, you may be entitled to receiving home physical /home occupational therapy and a visiting registered nurse. The medical physician needs to warrant there has been a change in medical condition and write a prescription. There is no co-pay or out of pocket expense for treatment. Patients must be homebound while receiving services which essentially means that the patient has a taxing effort to leave the home.

FAQ's View All
Can I get the same caregiver for a morning and evening shift?
Maintaining continuity of care is important for our clients. Commonly known as "split shifts", the morning shift is designed to assist a client with their morning routine. Often referred to as rise and shine service, a four hour minimum is required with each shift. It is rather challenging to staff a client's wish with a split shift, however, it is up to the licensed caregiver to determine if they will accept both morning and evening shift. Evening shifts require a four hour minimum and generally clients request 6pm to 10am.
Am I able to get a caregiver just to help me bath?
Yes, we have a number of licensed caregivers able to provide clients with a one hour bath visit. Whether a client is in need of a bath for soaking or a shower, families and client's alike can feel good knowing personal hygiene has been attended to. For some clients that may be hesitate in starting care, a bath visit can be a great way to give home care a try.
Testimonials View All
We retained Accountable during a very emotionally trying period in our mother’s life after she became very ill and could no longer live alone. Accountable provided services to our mother for approximately 1 year. Although it is very difficult to bring a caregiver into the home of a person who has been independent for her entire life, Accountable was very sensitive to our mother’s needs and concerns. They worked with us to find professional, qualified caregivers to care for our mother. We would recommend Accountable to anyone in need of professional, qualified and sensitive caregivers for part-time or full-time care.
