Maximizing Long-Term Care Insurance with Home-Based Care
A majority of individuals who have purchased a long term care policy use their policy for in-home care versus a nursing home. The need for in-home care is not planned and unfortunately a number of individuals did not purchase a policy. For the individuals who invested in a long term care policy and paid annually for the coverage, using the policy does not have to be taxing nor create any unnecessary stress. At Accountable Home Care, we want you make sure you maximize time with a caregiver so you can continue to thrive in a safe, home environment.
Interesting Facts About In-Home Care
Roughly 52 percent of aging adults reaching 65 today will need in-home care services. Unfortunately of the 52 percent that will need home care, fewer than 10 percent of older adults have purchased a long term care insurance policy.
Currently more than 6 million older adults are considered to have a “high need” where they can benefit from in-home non-medical care.

FAQ's View All
Can a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Home Health Aide (HHA) change a gauze bandage around my ankle?
In the State of Florida an aide can only change a non sterile bandage. If a patient asks for assistance and the doctor's order requires a sterile dressing than this is considered skilled nursing care and requires both a script from a physician and an LPN or higher. Only non sterile applications apply to the scope of a home health aide's or a certified nursing assistant's license.
Can a caregiver assist my father with his medication?
A licensed caregiver can remind a patient to take their medication. Under the State of Florida LPNs and RNs are able to administer medication and provide medication management. A home health aide or a certified nursing assistant can only remind a patient to take medications. A CNA or HHA cannot even fill a pill box. Often times a family member fills pill boxes or a spouse and then the caregiver just reminds them to take the medicine as instructed by the doctor.
