If you or a loved one needs an extra level of care in the home, Healthfirst can help.
A Personal Care Aide can help you or your loved one with:
Your Care Management Team, led by a Registered Nurse or a Licensed Social Worker, will help coordinate a care plan so you or your loved one, doctors, and family/caregivers are all on the same page.
If you’re a caregiver, you probably feel pulled in many different directions right now. Long-Term Care can help ease your mind knowing that your loved one is getting the care they need with a Care Team that is just a phone call away. It can also help keep your loved one from feeling socially isolated.
You/your loved one could pay nothing for covered services with Healthfirst Long-Term Care Plans. We’ll help you find out if you/your loved one qualify for Medicaid, so there would be no cost for covered services.
The primary difference is the level of training. Both jobs involve personal care, but the HHA receives specialized training and can attend to more complex diet regimes, handle simple dressing changes, and take basic vital signs. The PCA would be used more for tasks such as bathing, shopping, light housekeeping, and running errands. The choice of using one over the other will depend on the level of medical care needed.
These are healthcare and supportive services provided to individuals of all ages who require help with routine daily activities (such as bathing, dressing, preparing meals, and taking medications). These services can be provided in the home or in the community, such as at an adult day care center. CBLTCS eligibility is a requirement for Long-Term Care Plans.
Through the Consumer Directed Personal Assistant Services (CDPAS) program, you can choose your own aide, and they could be a friend, family member, or assistant you’ve had a positive experience with. It gives you more control over your care plan. If you are interested in learning more about this option, give us a call.
