Senior Home Care Winter Park

What is Senior Home Care?

Ongoing home care services, considered to be custodial or supportive care, are usually provided by individuals such as home health aides, homemakers, and companions. Home health aides are trained to provide hands-on care and assistance to people in their homes who need help with ADLs (bathing, dressing, transferring, eating, toileting, or continence). They are also able to help with needed tasks such as cooking, shopping, and laundry.

Homemakers or companions provide services that include light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and companionship. This type of care is often appropriate for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia who may be physically healthy but require supervision. Homemakers and companions are not trained to provide hands-on assistance with ADLs such as bathing and dressing.

About 8 in 10 (82%) of the home health care agencies surveyed provide Alzheimer’s training to their employees, and almost all (99%) agencies surveyed do not charge an additional fee for patients with Alzheimer’s. About 3 in 10 (31%) of the agencies surveyed have a 24-hour or live-in rate.

The laws governing these services and what exactly can be performed by home care agencies or home health care agencies vary from state to state. For the most part non-medical senior home care is a private pay service, meaning it is not covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs and must be paid for independently. Home healthcare services may often be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or veteran’s benefits.

About Winter Park, Florida

Winter Park, a suburb of Orlando, Florida was founded as a resort destination by wealthy New England industrialists before the turn of the 20th century. It is recognized as the first centrally planned community in Florida; its main street includes not only public civic buildings and retail, but also art galleries, a private liberal arts college, museums, a park, a train station, a golf course country club, a historic cemetery, and a beach and boat launch. Winter Park is celebrated for a sense of place and history, uncommon to many parts of Central Florida. Many structures are more than 100 years old. The scenic Olde Winter Park area is punctuated by small, winding brick streets, and a canopy of old Southern Live Oak and Camphor trees, draped with Spanish Moss. The city draws thousands of visitors to annual festivals including the Bach Festival, the nationally ranked Sidewalk Art Festival, and the Winter Park Concours d'Elegance.
