Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Hospice never supplies in home care. Hospice provides the following: one or two bedbaths or shower assists per week by an aid who comes to the house medications for pain management Certain medical equipment such as rental hospital bed RN once a week Clergy (usually now just a phone call) Social Worker (usually when requested and usually now a phone call).
If you are on Medicaid you may have a right to some inhome care, and this would require an MD order for same. No insurance I know of covers in home caregivers. Nor is it covered that I know of other than by some Medicaid programs in some instances.
If you require help in home you have to hire it yourself and it is VERY costly. My friend needed sitter 24/7 who did some small house cleaning and cooking. She paid 20.00 an hour for 24 hours each day. She also supplied food costs and ordered in food often. It was extemely expensive.
This is the norm today. For this Hospice gets paid huge amounts of money per patient they can get.
I hope you will tell us more about just what you were promised and by whom. I hope you will tell us more about your circumstances. I sure wish you continued survivor status!
Do you mean you got better under hospice care and you were discharged? Then told you could be placed on "in home" care which did not happen?
"In home care" has to be ordered by your doctor. Its not a permanent fix. Its usually for PT and OT. You get an aide about 3x a week to help u with bathing. Depending on the agencies ability to supply aides, you can only get them for an hour or so, not for 24/7 care. Medicare pays for the service but you will be discharged when Medicare feels you have progressed as far as you can. Medicare does offer "intermittent" care but again thats not 24/7 care.
If you need help with an aide 4hrs a day or more Medicare will not pay for that. You could see if you qualify for Medicaid but again, you will probably not get more than 8 hrs a day, and only 5 days a week.
