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.

If you have straight Medicare insurance and live any neighboring cities from Stuart to Boca Raton, our patient care coordinator can make suggestions in obtaining a few medical providers to provide an at home medical visit covered by Medicare. Medicare services can include house call visits from a medical provider, visiting nurse, home physical therapy and occupational therapy.
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.

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.
