Personal Care Services
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.

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.
Do I need a prescription from my doctor in order to hire a caregiver for personal care at home?
Hiring a licensed caregiver to provide non-medical home care in the home does not require a prescription from a doctor. Often times a physician will write a prescription for a home health aide to assist in conjunction with other services requiring a prescription such as Medicare Home Health Services. Medicare Home Health requires a prescription from a physician.
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.
