Hourly Caregivers Available
Hourly Care
Hourly senior home care offers flexibility and by far is more cost effective solution to aging in place. Hourly care can be provided at a resident’s home, while at a hospital, nursing home setting, residential care home or assisted living facility. Hourly caregivers can supplement services offered at assisted living communities giving added security and attention to a resident that may be experiencing a health care setback.
Benefits to Hourly Care
- No Long Term Committment Required
- Easiest Type of Senior Care to Start Allowing Time to “Ease” into Acceptance of Care
- Home Health Aides Adapt to Patient’s Lifestyle
Hourly Private Care is the easiest type of care with no long term commitment to start. Hourly care allows families to try home care as a solution to aging in place versus senior living placement that requires a full lifestyle change, monthly deposit and financial commitment. Hourly care allows caregivers to adapt to client’s lifestyle, NOT requiring the client to change their lifestyle or environment.
First, it is the easiest type of care to start and usually the best option if you have a loved one that is resistant to receiving help. Some seniors, often elderly parents, may initially object to accepting home care, because they view it as limiting their independence. However, hourly home care often allows seniors time to “ease into” accepting help and provides them with the opportunity to recognize that home care can actually help them maintain their independence at home.
*Ask a care team member about rates for a bath visit and more hourly supportive services.

A caregiver in the evening may allow family members time to catch up on much needed sleep and provides peace of mind. Generally the caregiver is needed for those who need assistance transferring to the restroom at night or needs a gentle reminder to take evening medication.

When using a Long Term Care Policy as payment for hourly care at home, what services are considered long-term care services?
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. At Accountable Home Care, we are proud to accept the benefits and work directly with insurance if it is easier for the client and the family.
When using a long term care policy, care services tend to relate to the following covered care services:
*It is very important to verify directly with the long term insurance provider and utilize your original long term care policy for further clarification and guidelines.
- Attending an Adult Day Care Center offering respite services. This allows for a family to seek a comfortable and safe environment outside the patient's 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.
- Assisted Living Facility resident or a resident of a Long Term Care Nursing Home.
What does Activities of Daily Living mean?
Activities of Daily Living and Senior Care
Activities of Daily Living is a term used when discussing care for the elderly or the disabled. Activities of daily living are duties a person needs to do in order to be safe. As we age, care may be required to help a family member or a patient called ADLs. ADLs are referred to as "activities of daily living" which includes bathing, dressing, continence, eating, toileting, and/or transferring.
Using a Long Term Care Policy for Personal Care Services
When a patient opens a claim with a long term care insurance company, care time sheets/notes must reflect activities of daily living as qualifiers. A change in medical condition often times requires a caregiver in a home for an elderly family member. At Accountable Home Care, we offer flexible hours designed to meet your lifestyle. Whether you need daily care or short term respite, Accountable Home Care in Palm Beach Gardens is here for you and your family.

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.
