Private Services is a consumer-initiated service that offers in-home assistance on a short or long-term basis that meets the individual’s medical and personal needs, including light housekeeping and household management. Private Services provides one-on-one care and support during times of rehabilitation and recovery. Up to 24-hour care can be available in the patient’s home, giving primary caregivers and family members reassurance, freedom, and flexibility.

A registered nurse will complete a personalized assessment and develop a plan tailored to meet the needs of the individual, ensuring that support is available when needed. Licensed RNs, competency-tested home health aides, and qualified specialty therapists provide care.

Because it is designed to meet one’s individual needs and preferences, Private Services offers many options for care. Services provided could include:

• Bathing and personal care, including bath or shower, shampoo, nail, skin, and hair care
• Assistance with activities of daily living, which include meal preparation, laundry, and errands.
• Personal supervision for companionship and safety
• Respite care for caregivers
• Rehabilitative care and support following injury or accident
• Supplemental staffing for established hospice and home care patients

Private Services may be covered by some private insurance plans, Medicaid special programs, no-fault auto insurance, community agencies such as the Area Agency on Aging, or through private pay. Medicare does not cover Private Services.
