Our experience has been that the average cost for CareTime is about 1/3 the cost of an Assisted Living Facility and less than 1/4 of what skilled care would cost. CareTime works hand in hand with local Home Health Agencies, Hospice and many other organizations to bring in all the necessary care and equipment for maintaining safety at home. Many of these options are covered 100% by Medicare; Hourly private duty care is private pay, but may also be covered in whole or part by Long Term Care Insurance if the client has such a policy.
We have successfully transitioned many seniors from a facility to home. Some have even come back home when they have surpassed the level of care that an assisted living facility offers. This is not always possible but we will make appropriate assessments and recommendations to find the right solution for your loved ones.
