Lakes Region Community Services: Giving just the right care for Kim
January 25, 2008
excerpt:
Then Kim came across the HomeAssist program offered by LRCS. HomeAssist is designed for chronically ill and/or elderly individuals who are having difficulty with day-to-day responsibilities associated with independent living. The program enables qualified individuals to choose a caregiver who will be compensated by LRCS for providing in-home support to the individual for a prespecified amount of time each week. This caregiver can be a friend, family member, or someone appointed by LRCS directly; it's all up to the person receiving the services. Those who qualify under the Elderly and Chronically Ill (HCBC-HCI) Medicaid waiver receive this service free of charge. Consumers who do not qualify for free services can still take advantage of the program through the self-pay option. Services offered through HomeAssist run the gamut from meal planning and preparation, housekeeping, bill management, transportation needs, dressing and personal hygiene care.
