Share the Care Home Care Program
Share the Care Home Care Program has developed a unique service for the residents of senior living apartments. Traditionally, if the resident of a senior apartment were to need minimal assistance with certain activities, a private duty aide would have to be hired. Private duty can be expensive and often requires time minimums, set with no regard for the activities accomplished.
If service was unavailable or unaffordable many residents would be forced to move into long-term care facilities or even nursing homes.
What is Share the Care?
Share the Care is assistance with activities of daily living with rates far below those of private duty home care services. The savings are made possible by the skillful scheduling of services for multiple residents in block times.
What services are available?
Share the Care was designed to meet the “individual” needs of each resident the same as private duty home care services with one exception-the residents share the cost. The client only chooses and pays for the services needed.
