Benefits of Live-in Care
Offers peace of mind for everyone Reduces disruption of lifestyle Provides the highest form of constant support at a cost-effective rate
Types of Services Offered for Live-in Care
We can provide a wide range of types of services for our clients. Often, our clients that need 24-hour live-in care in San Francisco will have specific needs. In some cases, this might be medical help. Other times, it might simply be reminders for picking up and taking medication on time. They might also need help with meal prep, cooking, bathing, dressing, and other daily activities.
One of the biggest benefits of using live-in care for seniors is that our team also provides companionship. Being a senior and living alone can be lonely, and many people don’t get out and maintain an active social life. Having someone around to talk to can help to improve the senior’s quality of life.
The Peace of Mind You Need
Seniors and their loved ones will also find that when they choose 24-hour live-in care in San Francisco, they will feel more at ease. Seniors living on their own could slip and fall, forget to take their medications, not be able to get to and from the store easily, and may face a host of other issues. These were things that they took for granted in the past, but they are now in a situation where everything is a bit more difficult. Our team at Care Indeed works to make sure that the senior is happy, healthy, safe, and has what they need.
The seniors and all of their loved ones will have more peace of mind when there is around-the-clock care available. Cutting down on the worry can make everyone in the family happier.
Less Disruption to Lifestyle
Seniors often realize that they need some help doing certain things around the house. Maybe they forget to turn off the stove after cooking, or maybe they don’t always remember to pick up their medications from the pharmacy. Sometimes, they or their loved ones might feel that the best course of action would be to move into a care facility.
However, this type of move can be frightening and is often unwelcome. The seniors would much rather be in their own homes where they are comfortable and happy. With 24-hour live-in care, the seniors will stay in the home that they know. This will reduce the amount of disruption in their lifestyle. They can continue to do the things they like to do and go to the places they want to go. Allowing them to age in place in a location they prefer will be a major advantage in their mental health and wellbeing. Essentially, it will give them one less thing that they have to worry about.
Quality Caregivers
Of course, you will also be happy to know that we only hire high-quality, knowledgeable caregivers to work with you or your loved one. We understand how nerve-wracking it can be to bring someone you don’t know into your home, so we work hard to ensure the right caregiver is matched to the right senior. This helps to ensure the senior receives the care they need with someone that fits them well.
A Cost-Effective Option
One of the most common questions asked regarding 24-hour live-in care in San Francisco is how to pay for the service. You will find that when compared with the cost of other types of services, such as moving into another facility that provides care, in-home care is cost-effective. The following are payment options you can consider.
Private Pay
Another term for this type of payment is self-pay, which simply means you would use personal finances from yourself or a loved one to pay for the services. This is a common means of payment. Care Indeed and bill directly regularly at the agreed-upon rate. This could include making payments from a credit card, from savings, etc. Autopay and software such as the Family Room Portal can be used to make the payments.
Long-Term Care Insurance
One of the other means of making payments is long-term care insurance. Sometimes, the insurance benefits could help to pay for the cost of live-in care. You can check your insurance to see if this might be covered. All of the claim requirements can be done electronically, which tends to make it a fast and easy process. Care Indeed can even help with this process if needed.
Government Programs
You will also want to check to see if there are any entitlement programs seniors could qualify for that could help to pay part of the services. Check to see what programs might be available for you to help cover the costs. Some programs may pay certain amounts or percentages of the care service cost.
Veteran’s Affairs
If the person who needs care is a veteran or a spouse of a veteran, and they are over 65 and disabled, the VA could help with payments. Veterans and spouses should make it a point to speak with a representative at the VA to determine whether they might be able to take advantage of this benefit. It could be a good way to pay for all or part of the cost of live-in care.
