Q) What is In-home care?
Essentially, in home care can be as simple as assistance with homemaking tasks up to full nursing care at home. We can offer as much or as little as you need.
KeepMeHome® offers supportive care by skilled, caring and compassionate nurses, health professionals, and/or care and companion aides in the comfort and security of one’s own home.
Q) Who is in home care best suited for?
In-home care is ideal for individuals who wish to remain living
independently, but may require some support services. It is a
cost-effective alternative to assisted-living and nursing home care. Anyone who may be recovering from an accident, illness or surgery; the elderly; new moms; caregivers needing respite care and those who are handicapped or disabled can benefit from our services.
Q) What is the difference between home care and home health care?
KeepMeHome
® In-home care CT provides assistance with tasks like personal care, house cleaning, meal preparation, laundry cleaning and transportation. For clients with these particular needs, care givers do not need to be licensed or certified. You may learn more about these services on our
Home health aide CT resource.
For clients who require
nursing care at home, KeepMeHome
®'s Home Health Care Providers are either registered nurses (RNs) licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or Physical Therapists, which offer services including medication dispensing, blood pressure screening, health assessments, wound dressing, and occupational and physical therapy.
Q) What are some important factors when evaluating home care agencies in CT?
Besides being able to provide the needed skill sets in a safe, compassionate and competent manner, make sure the service provider is licensed, bonded and insured. Personality is another important factor. KeepMeHome
® is one of the most relied on and trusted home care agencies in CT. We strive to match the best-skilled, best-qualified individuals whose personality is best suited to the situation because we understand the importance of choosing the right person who will come into your loved one’s home to care for them as if they were family. And, we are Medicare/Medicaid certified, so the chances of having healthcare services covered are likely.
