Assisting Seniors' priority is that our Personal Caregivers are kind and reliable.  Additionally, every one of our Personal Caregivers is subject to a criminal background check, a thorough interview, a competency test and personal and employment reference checks.

All employees are licensed and bonded by Assisting Seniors.

Yes. Every Assisting Seniors caregiver is an employee of our agency. We perform a criminal history background clearance on each caregiver, and cover each of them with general liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance.

Yes. We make it our job to match the right caregiver(s) with each client. We will never send a caregiver whom you are not satisfied with and we will accommodate any request for a change that you may have.

Our experience is that developing a strong rapport and trust with your caregiver is a vital component to a successful home care experience. In short, we want to avoid the “revolving door” of caregivers. Thus, our clients can keep the same caregiver as long as they are satisfied.

However, it may be necessary to schedule more than one caregiver in a given week depending on the hours you need.  Given that, we want to have the same caregiver(s) coming each week, as long as you are happy with them. Any and all such decisions will be made with the consent of the client.

Many long-term care insurance, worker’s compensation, and automobile insurance policies will reimburse for these kinds of services. Additionally, funds from Reverse Mortgages, Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts are often used to pay for home care.

Assisting Seniors has preferred relationships with many such companies. We will help you and your family through every step of the process involved with determining what a policy will actually cover, and we will provide any documentation your insurance company requests.

Medicare does not currently pay for this type of hourly companion and personal care service.

No. You will never be locked into a long-term contract, and Assisting Seniors will never require you to continue with services if you choose not to.

Assisting Seniors's caregivers are required to call in from the client's home when they arrive, and call in when they are leaving.  These calls are logged with the clients number to ensure accurate billing.  Verification can be provided any time it is requested.

Invoices are always sent after the completion of services, so any requested adjustments to schedules are taken care of before the invoice is sent.

Your information will never be sold to any 3rd party or affiliate under any circumstances. Only the office personnel and caregivers who are directly involved in your services will have access to information related to your care.

We comply with all applicable federal and state guidelines related to privacy of personal and healthcare information as soon as your relationship with Assisting Seniors begins, and continues throughout that relationship.

Our service agreement stipulates the exact restrictions on the use of your information, which clarifies that even unauthorized family members will not be given access to information without the client’s or legally authorized representative’s formal consent.
