Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Personal Care?
Personal care is one of the most common types of in-home care. Generally, this type of care is meant for individuals with chronic health conditions, physical disabilities, or difficulties with strength, coordination, and mobility. Care will typically include a combination of tasks and activities, which are designed to ensure the individual’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
Who is eligible for Personal Care?
The eligibility criteria for personal care assistance may vary depending on the state and the Medicaid program. In general, home and community-based services are available to eligible persons aged 60 or older and to adults with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 59.
Medicaid is one of the programs that provides personal care assistance through its Medicaid State Plan and Medicaid Waiver programs. To be eligible for Medicaid, specific eligibility criteria must be met, including being a resident in the state in which one applies, financial requirements, and functional requirements.
In addition to Medicaid, there are other programs that provide personal care assistance such as Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid Waivers or Section 1115 Demonstration Waivers.
It is important to note that eligibility criteria may differ based on the state and the program. Therefore, it is best to check with your local Department of Health and Human Services or a Medicaid specialist to determine your eligibility for personal care assistance.
Do your senior care aides have special training or qualifications?
Yes, we thoroughly screen applicants and provide ongoing senior care training, so clients receive compassionate, competent assistance.
How quickly can Allevia Home Care start care after my initial inquiry?

What are the signs that an elderly person is in need of assistance?
Identifying signs that an elderly person requires assistance is crucial for ensuring their safety and well-being. Common indicators include:
- Changes in Physical Health: Keep an eye out for noticeable declines in mobility, changes in weight, or struggles with personal hygiene.
- Social Withdrawal: If an elderly person becomes increasingly isolated, it may signal a need for companionship or assistance with daily activities.
- Neglected Living Environment: A disheveled or unkempt living space may suggest difficulties in managing household tasks, indicating a need for support.
What Is The Difference Between In-Home Care And Senior Housing Options Like Assisted Living?
In home care keeps seniors safe in their own homes by providing care either hourly or live-in services. Most seniors would commonly prefer to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. Assisted living facilities are for aging adults who need more care, or need a safer environment. Assisted living facilities are a great option for people who become confused easily and may wander or may need regular medication administration by a med-tech or nurse.
