Liberty Home Care is a way to receive help in your home without having to move into sheltered housing or a nursing home. It involves having a home health aide (or home caregiver) come to your house and help with the activities of daily living, like bathing, grooming, eating, or helping you move around. They may also provide companionship, social interaction, or medication reminders. They might be trained to do simple health checks of your pulse, temperature, and respiration.

This is a type of short-term, physician-directed home health care that helps people recover from illness or injury in the comfort of their own homes. Also known as intermittent skilled home health care, visiting nurse services, or Medicare-certified home health care, it is often covered by medical insurance, long term care insurance, or private pay.

Professional Home Care: Ensuring Comfort and Support for Seniors at Home

Non-medical home care services are usually paid for by Medicaid, private pay, or a reverse mortgage. Caregivers who work for a licensed home care agency often have to meet strict hiring requirements, including training, background checks, and criminal record checks. Caregivers are also subject to regular reviews and evaluations to ensure the quality of care is consistent. Typically, a home care agency will schedule caregivers at varying times each week to accommodate shift changes and sick days. If a caregiver is unable to take their shift, the agency will send another qualified caregiver to fill in. This provides continuity and reduces the risk of gaps in care.
