Long Term Care Benefit
Often times families and clients requests the use of their long term care policy as an acceptable payor source when retaining our services for hourly care at home.

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.
