Licensed Home Health Aides for Hire in Palm Beach County

Home Health Aides are licensed caregivers who are trained to care for the disabled and the elderly. If you live in Palm Beach Gardens and would like to hire a home health aide, be sure to ask the aide to show you their county badge. In Palm Beach County, Home Health Aides have to carry a county badge while working. The purpose of the badge is designed to promote safety for the elderly. The badge is an extra layer of protection where the home health aides have to register with Palm Beach County and submit a photo ID whether the aide works for a home care agency or works privately. Other home care personnel such as a registered nurse, certified nursing assistant, or licensed practical nurse are not required to obtain a badge.

Palm Beach County Home Caregiver ID Badges

The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners enacted the Home Caregiver Ordinance in 2015 requiring ID Badges and Level 2 background checks of Home Caregivers to begin in 2016. The ordinance is enforced primarily by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Consumer Affairs Investigators. ID Badges are issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs.

Can a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Home Health Aide (HHA) change a gauze bandage around my ankle?

In the State of Florida an aide can only change a non sterile bandage. If a patient asks for assistance and the doctor's order requires a sterile dressing than this is considered skilled nursing care and requires both a script from a physician and an LPN or higher. Only non sterile applications apply to the scope of a home health aide's or a certified nursing assistant's license.

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.

Benefits of Using a Long Term Care Policy for Custodial Care

We help facilitate opening an insurance claim with the long term care insurance provider and the patient. Common terms such as Elimination Periods, Monthly or Daily Benefit, Care Advisory Services, Stay at Home Benefits and Assistance with Daily Living Requirements are discussed as part of the intake process.
