How can I get help at home using my long term care policy?
If you or someone you love has a long term care policy, a patient care coordinator from Accountable Home Care can discuss home care services. It is always helpful to have your long term care policy available so a representative from our nurse registry and your long term care agent can review the terms with you. It is important to us that clients have a complete understanding if there are any out of pocket expenses prior to the long term care insurance paying for care. Most people that ask for assistance have never used their long term care policy and the process seems overwhelming. Families and clients alike can be assured we can ease any uncertainties to ensure the claim filing is not a painful process.

At Accountable Home Care, we are proud to accept the benefits and work directly with insurance if it is easier for the client and the family.
When using a long term care policy, care services tend to relate to the following covered care services:

Adult day care is a great option for senior citizens who may benefit from socialization. Typically the primary caregiver is an adult child that works and the aging parent no longer can be left home alone while the adult child works.
- Home Health Care - Skilled Registered Nursing Visits and/or home physical therapy services. Hospice at home is another form of home health care but can also be at an actual inpatient center.
- Assisted Living Facility resident or a resident of a Long Term Care Nursing Home.
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.
