Home Care
Home Care is another program provided by
Presbyterian Homes and Services through
its Presbyterian Residential Community. It offers
various levels of care by trained, certified and
licensed professional caregivers – seven days a week, 24 hours a day – all in the comfort of one’s
own home.
Home Care professionals will make arrangements
for special equipment or medical supplies with
a vendor of the senior’s choice. Home Care accepts many private insurance carriers and will bill the
insurers directly and take care of all paper work
for the Home Care patient. Services not covered by
insurance may be billed directly to the patient.
Special and flexible arrangements can be made
if necessary.
