What is private care?

Private care covers two different benefits you’ll find at Elevation Homecare. It refers to a method of paying for the in-home care you or your loved one may need. It also summarizes their expertise in home-based care that is customized to support each person’s needs.

What type of service is private care?

Private care, also called private duty home care, defines the heart of Elevation Homecare. They specialize in personalized, home-based care, giving older adults the comprehensive support they need to live at home instead of being forced into a long-term care facility.

Many adults need home care as a result of age-related health conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia, chronic diseases, frailty, and limited mobility. But you could also need private in-home care if you’re temporarily immobilized after surgery, suffer a serious injury, or have a disability.

Elevation Homecare offers a wide range of in-home services, including:

• Personal care
• Around-the-clock care
• Alzheimer’s and dementia care
• Companion care
• Well-being checks
• Friendly visits

Personal care covers all of your daily activities, helping you with everything from bathing, toileting, grooming, and dressing to preparing meals, doing laundry and light housework, running errands, and caring for pets.

What does private care mean when paying for in-home services?

Private care means that you can pay out-of-pocket or with a long-term care policy. Elevation Homecare accepts private pay, including credit cards, which is an important option because many private health insurance providers don’t cover non-medical home care services.

Beyond private pay, they accept Pennsylvania Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers and programs, including:

• Aging waiver
• Community HealthChoices
• Independence waiver
• Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) waiver
• Attendant Care Waiver
• ACT 150 program
• Workers’ compensation
• Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits

Elevation Homecare also accepts American Veterans Care Connection (AVCC), America’s Choice Provider Network (ACPN), and several private insurance companies.

If you have any questions about how to pay for home-based care, don’t hesitate to call the office. They can answer your questions and schedule a consultation to determine the exact services you may need. Then they can tell you the precise cost and better guide your financial decisions.
