Levels of Home Health Care for Elders

Are you considering hiring a Home Health Care service to help take care of your aging loved one? If so, you will need to consider the different levels of home health services that are available. Specifically, does your loved one require a Home Health Nurse, an Aid, or just a Companion?

If your Elder Care needs are higher on the medical side, you might consider a Home Care Registered Nurse or a Licensed Practitioner Nurse. RNs and LPNs are able to handle pretty much anything. They can administer medication, monitor changes in health, etc, while helping with other things like bathing and putting on clothes, etc. Home Care services will generally charge between $20 and $30 per hour for the services of a nurse.

Many patients will not need that kind of intensive care, but will still require some basic help. This is where Nurses Assistants or Home Health Aides come in. These individuals can help your loved one get out of bed, wash themselves, and take care of their immediate needs. Home Health Care services will often charge $15-20 per hour for this level of care.

But what if your loved one needs supervision without medical help? For example, what if he or she is battling dementia and needs a person to keep them company and make sure they don’t wander off? A Companion can come in handy in these situations. Companions are not trained to take care of patients grooming or medical needs, but they do know how to have conversations, how to give basic housekeeping assistance such as preparing lunch, and offer peace of mind by keeping a watchful eye. Home Health Care services will charge slightly less for this level of service as they would for Home Health Aids, but still somewhere between $15 and $20 per hour.

Medicare will generally help cover the cost of Home Health Care. Check with your medicare adviser to be sure.

Would Respite Care Help You?

Are you a full-time Caregiver who needs a Break? Respite Care exists for that very purpose.

It’s difficult for many people to understand the strain of taking care of an elderly loved one twenty-four hours a day. This responsibility can weigh heavily on people. They feel like they can never catch up to their other workload, and never have any time for themselves. Sadly, many of them burn out before too long.

Respite Care is a service that is offered to full-time caregivers who need a little time off, whether that means regularly or occasionally. Respite Care workers can be in-home nurses or workers at a facility such as an Adult Day Care or Assisted Living community.

Many family caregivers would rather their loved one be cared for at home where he or she feels safer and more comfortable. But many elder care facilities are well-equipped to handle day guests. For many seniors, it’s a better option anyway, because it allows them to get out of the house and enjoy a different environment.

Some Respite Care centers will offer care for multiple days as well. This is especially convenient for families who want to go on vacation, but cannot bring their loved one along.

Happily, Respite Care is generally less expensive than most other elder care services. So if you need a break from Caregiving, check out your local elder care resources for Respite Care. It’s worth it!

Networks for Helping Seniors

The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in their handy “Guide to Choosing a Nursing Home,” recommends that people explore different options BEFORE deciding to put their loved ones in a nursing home. In many cases, those loved ones do not need intensive, 24-hour assistance, but their needs are just a little more than any one person can handle. The Guide lists many different kinds of services that can help out based on the individual’s needs, so that the Nursing Home option doesn’t have to be the first and only option. I’m posting those options below, along with a brief definition and explanation.

■ Adult day care : This is a unique service offered to seniors who live with loved ones but need care during the day while their loved ones are at work. Most adult day cares are designed for seniors who have dimentia or alzheimers and cannot care for themselves.

■ Meal programs (like Meals-on-Wheels) Meals on Wheels is a national program that offers home delivery of lunches to seniors who are not able to get out. Delivery Drivers are volunteers

■ Senior centers are gathering places for seniors and their caregivers where they can find limitless information on senior services, and also find friendship, recreation, employment, and volunteer opportunities.

■ Friendly visitor programs: Offer much needed fellowship and friendly assistance for seniors who are stuck at home without friends and family. The volunteer network of is dedicated to making those they help realize that they are not alone.

Be sure to check with any of these networks to inquire about further assistance in transportation, shopping, or any other questions regarding elder services in your area.
