Q:
Do I pay the caregiver directly?
A:
Christian Companion Senior Care pays the
caregiver. We handle all the billing,
payroll, taxes, insurance and
administrative responsibilities for you.
Q:
How does the cost of Christian Companion
Senior Care compare with assisted living
or nursing home care?
A: The average Christian Companion
Senior Care service runs about one-third
the cost of an assisted living facility
and about one-fourth the cost of a
nursing home.
Q:
Are your services available in nursing
homes or assisted living facilities?
A:
Yes, we provide care in these facilities
to residents who require additional
living assistance.
Q: How
quickly can services start?
A: Generally
services can be provided within a
48-hour period and often the same day.
Q: Can
I change a caregiver schedule if
something comes up?
A:
Changes can be made with as little as a
week's notice. We want to make the
schedule work for your family. You come
first. Your needs, your requests, your schedule. We will do
everything we can to make
sure the schedule you want is the
schedule you get.
Q:
What if I want to change caregivers for
any reason?
A:
If you sense that another caregiver
might be best for your particular
situation, simply call your local office
and let us know your concerns. We handle
the details, placing your caregiver with
another client and sending a new
caregiver to your home. No stress, no
worry.
Q: How
much does this cost? Is there financial
help available?
A: Contact
your local
Christian Companion Senior Care
for hourly rates. While Medicare does
not cover this type of care, some
long-term care policies do. Limited
financial assistance may also be
available.
Q:
How do we begin?
A: Find
your local office and contact them
to discuss your particular needs. They
will visit with you in your home about
your care needs. We will then, at your
direction, identify caregivers who have
the skills, personality and availability
to assist you. Once the schedule you
want is arranged, our service for you
will begin. |
