Q.
How do I know it’s time to hire a home care provider?
It may be time to consider home care if you or a loved one are struggling with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, preparing meals, or remembering medications. Other signs include frequent falls, loneliness, poor hygiene, or caregiver burnout among family members. A home care provider can ease these burdens while preserving independence.
Q.
What’s the difference between personal care and medical home care?
Personal care supports daily living activities like grooming, mobility, and hygiene—it’s non-medical. Skilled medical care involves licensed nurses and includes wound care, injections, and chronic condition management. Signature Home Care offers both, depending on your needs.
Q.
Can a family member get paid to provide care?
Yes. In many cases, family members already providing care may qualify to be paid caregivers through Medicaid waiver programs or other state-funded services. We can help you determine eligibility and guide you through the process.
Q.
How much does personal care cost, and will insurance cover it?
Costs vary depending on the level of care and hours needed. Many clients receive services at no cost through Medicaid waiver programs. We’ll work with you to explore funding options and benefits you may be eligible for.
Q.
What waiver programs does Signature Home Care accept?
The waivers and insurances we accept are: Keystone First, PA Health and Wellness, UPMC, Consolidated Waiver, Person/Family Directed Support and Community Living waivers.
