private duty versus medicare home health

If you or a family member is in need of assistance with daily living, a caregiver referred by Accountable Home Care is your solution. Our non medical home care solutions are privately paid for by long term care insurance or out of pocket. Care can be provided in a patient’s home or place of residence such as an assisted living facility, skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, group home or independent living retirement community. There is no long term commitment when you retain Accountable Home Care for services.

Personal Care at Home By a Licensed Caregiver

Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) are the two types of caregivers Accountable Home Care offers. A large majority of the caregivers live locally from surrounding cities such as Wellington, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Rivera Beach, North Palm Beach and Jupiter. As a licensed nurse registry, the caregivers are independent contractors. The caregivers work for each patient following care instructions provided for by the patient or family member.

FAQ's View All

How can I get help at home using my long term care policy?

If you or someone you love has a long term care policy, a patient care coordinator from Accountable Home Care can discuss home care services. It is always helpful to have your long term care policy available so a representative from our nurse registry and your long term care agent can review the terms with you. It is important to us that clients have a complete understanding if there are any out of pocket expenses prior to the long term care insurance paying for care. Most people that ask for assistance have never used their long term care policy and the process seems overwhelming. Families and clients alike can be assured we can ease any uncertainties to ensure the claim filing is not a painful process.

Benefits of Using a Long Term Care Policy for Custodial Care

We help facilitate opening an insurance claim with the long term care insurance provider and the patient. Common terms such as Elimination Periods, Monthly or Daily Benefit, Care Advisory Services, Stay at Home Benefits and Assistance with Daily Living Requirements are discussed as part of the intake process.

Do the Home Health Aides (HHAs) or certified nursing assistants (CNAs) referred by Accountable Home Care know how to do CPR?

CPR is required for all caregivers referred by Accountable Home Care, Inc. by the State of Florida. Records of CPR training is maintained by our nurse registry. A copy of the caregiver's CPR card (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)(CPR) certification from an instructor or training provider that is approved to provide training by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or the Health and Safety Institute stays in the caregiver's file.

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.
