Senior Companionship with Licensed CNAs and Home Health Aides
Non medical home care is a difficult subject to approach that offers both physical and emotional support. Senior Companionship often times is the encouragement people need to get out of bed in the morning. It can be hard to find a caregiver who meets all of your specific needs while also being somebody that you can trust. Thankfully, there are many different options available when it comes to non medical home care. Different levels of care are available based on the amount of care that you or your loved one needs. There are also many different payment options available, so you can find a plan that fits both your budget and your care needs. It is important to remember that it might take a few tries to find the perfect care plan. Often times, it takes a bit of trial and error to find the right provider and the right level of care. However, once you find a plan that works for you, aging in place at home can be a great option for both you and your loved ones. Accountable Home Care offers free in home assessments so we can help you determine your non medical needs.

Can a Companion help with hands on personal care?
A: Companions often referred to as a “sitter” means a person who spends time with or cares for an elderly, handicapped, or convalescent individual. Companions referred to clients at Accountable Home Care are either licensed home health aides (HHAs) or Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). Unlike an unlicensed individual, these caregivers are professionally trained and licensed to transfer and care for the elderly. The caregivers we refer have their Level 2 Background Check, current CPR certification, general liability insurance, driver’s license among other credentials required by the State of Florida.

FAQ's View All
Do I need a prescription from my doctor in order to hire a caregiver for personal care at home?
Hiring a licensed caregiver to provide non-medical home care in the home does not require a prescription from a doctor. Often times a physician will write a prescription for a home health aide to assist in conjunction with other services requiring a prescription such as Medicare Home Health Services. Medicare Home Health requires a prescription from a physician.
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.
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.
