Many Families Start with These Same Questions
How quickly can home care or home health care begin?
Care can often begin within hours of your initial evaluation.
If your situation is urgent, let us know and we’ll prioritize getting things in place. Our team is available 24/7, so you can start the process any day, any time.
Is home care covered by insurance or Medicare?
Care may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or Veterans benefits depending on if your loved one needs non medical home care or medically ordered home health care.
Skilled nursing and home health care services may qualify under Medicare when medically necessary, while personal care is more commonly covered by Medicaid or private insurance. Our team can help you figure out what applies to your situation.
Can care be short-term or long-term?
Care with Premier can be short-term, long-term, or anywhere in between, with no upfront commitment required.
Whether you need temporary help after surgery or ongoing support for a chronic condition, we’ll build a flexible plan that adjusts as your loved one’s needs change.
Will my loved one have the same caregiver each visit?
We make every effort to match your loved one with a consistent primary caregiver who fits their personality and schedule.
When a backup is needed, we ensure all caregivers are fully briefed on your loved one’s care plan so nothing falls through the cracks.
