Licensed Home Health Aides for Hourly Care in Palm Beach County

Home Health Aides available for Jupiter residents are licensed caregivers who are trained to care for the disabled and the elderly. If you live in Jupiter and would like to hire a home health aide, be sure to ask the aide to show you their county badge. In Palm Beach County, Home Health Aides have to carry a county badge while working. The purpose of the badge is designed to promote safety for the elderly. The badge is an extra layer of protection where the home health aides have to register with Palm Beach County and submit a photo ID whether the aide works for a home care agency or works privately. Other home care personnel such as a registered nurse, certified nursing assistant, or licensed practical nurse are not required to obtain a badge.

Palm Beach County Home Caregiver ID Badges

The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners enacted the Home Caregiver Ordinance in 2015 requiring ID Badges and Level 2 background checks of Home Caregivers to begin in 2016. The ordinance is enforced primarily by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and Consumer Affairs Investigators. ID Badges are issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs.

What is considered light housekeeping? I would like to get rid of my housekeeper.

Light housekeeping is designed for a caregiver to maintain the cleanliness and walking path of the area in the home for their patient. Light housekeeping is wiping down the kitchen countertop after preparing a lunch and wiping down the shower door. Light housekeeping does not mean heavy scrubbing, moving furniture or cleaning out cupboards.

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.
