Why do people hire home health aides?

 

Have you ever wondered why more and more people nowadays choose to hire a home health aide in order to take care of their elderly relative? If you ever asked yourself this question, you should continue reading this article to find out what are the reasons why people seek help from home health aides.

First of all, when thinking why people need home health assistance, we should keep in mind that, unlike in the past, when women did not have to work, nowadays, women as well as men have to work hard in order to ensure a living for their families. So, we can say that the main reason why they seek for help is because they no longer have the time needed to care after an elderly person.

Another reason why the need for health care aides is increasing, even in areas such as Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton, is the fact that the relatives of the senior citizen that needs assistance live in another city. This is also a problem caused mainly by their job, as many of the today`s jobs involve relocating.

People nowadays also have a much more comfortable lifestyle, and for many, having to clean after an elderly person, or having to cook meals for the person in question have become tasks that are two difficult, or embarrassing. They therefore decide to hire an aide to do the job for them, even if they do not need one.

On the other hand, there are some cases when the relatives do not have the required knowledge in order to take care of a senior citizen, especially when it comes to administrating intravenous treatment.

How to start your own home health agency: there’s more to it than just money

 

 

Have you ever thought of opening your own home health agency? If your answer to this question is yes, then here you can find important information on everything you have to do when you want to start such a business.

  1. Putting the basis of a home health agency: name, account, headquarters

The first step, as with other businesses, is to do everything that is required in the area where you live for registering your business. Here we can include things such as: register the name or opening a bank account.

After you successfully completed this step, you must now find an area where your business can prosper. In this case you should look for areas where the number of senior citizens is higher. You can also check for areas that have adult day care, and also retirement centers.

  1. Hiring home care specialists and applying for reimbursement

Furthermore, you need to hire some employees so you can get the business started. The requirements you have to meet in order to qualify for this may differ from country to country. After successfully obtaining a license you need to hire some employees.

You can do that by using the services of professional companies that deal with recruitment. But since more and more people (even those living in areas such as Palm Beach, Delray Beach, or Boca Raton), are looking for jobs online, you can post an advertisement on profile web sites.

Last but not least, you should apply for Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. In order to qualify for this, besides having to be bonded, you also need additional qualification. After you obtain such reimbursement, Medicare delegates will constantly inspect your agency to see whether or not you comply with the health and safety regulations that apply where you settled your company.

Skilled Nursing and Home Health Aide in Pompano Beach and Boca Raton

Posted on: June 6th, 2014

Does Your Medical Insurance Cover For Skilled Nursing?

What is skilled nursing?

The term is used to refer to those people who are specially trained as to be able to provide those in need with specialized medical care. This kind of care includes, for example, administering intra-venous injections or offering physical therapy. Care that does not require special training is not included in the skilled nursing category (for example feeding or washing a patient).

Does Medicare cover for skilled nursing?

If you require skilled nursing services that are provided in a facility, you have the right to receive 100 days of care. This limit is available for those patients who meet the Medicare conditions.

Finding skilled nursing centers in your area

If you live in West Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, Parkland, Palm Beach Gardens then you might want to know the places in your area where you can benefit from skilled nursing. Here is how to find them:

  • First off, inquire whether or not the hospital in your area or your town benefits from skilled nursing facilities, also known as SNF
  • Alternatively, you can have a look on the medicare.gov website – there are all the nursing homes in your area, ordered in a list; the list also provides contact details for every center, so you can either call them, visit them or send them an email
  • Another possibility is to call your local social service and ask them to help you find a SNF
  • While at the hospital, you can ask for your family doctor or the hopsital’s discharge planner to help you identify a suitable SNF for you
  • Once you found the SNF in your area you have to determine the quality of care you would receive at a specified center
  • In order to decide upon the best SNF center for you it is advised that you visit all SNFs that you are interested in
