4 1. Where to Start Many communities offer a range of home and community based services for older adults who wish to receive care while living in their own home, apartment or condominium. All services accept self (private) pay. Government-funded programs may provide services at no or lower cost to individuals with limited financial resources. The cost of services will vary in each community. Individuals should explore financial assistance or insurance coverage for any needed service. This guide includes: (1) home based service descriptions; (2) potential sources of payment for home based services; (3) suggestions for choosing service providers, and (4) a list of service providers If you determine you will need to pay privately for services, there are two principal ways to obtain them: (1) going through a home care agency, or (2) hiring a home care worker privately. This guide will help you consider which of these options best meets your needs. Free, Professional Consultation is Available To Help: Determine which services are needed Determine what payment options are available to you Locate service providers Evaluate all long-term care options Phone Numbers for Consultation: Nationwide: Eldercare Locator or In Ohio: Long Term Care Consultations Central Ohio: The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging-- CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING Your Aging and Disability Resource Network Page 2

5 2. Payment Sources for Home Based Services Advice: Explore all the options before paying privately. However, there are many people who will not be able to access another payment source and will have to pay out of pocket for all or at least part of any home based services. Private Self-Pay Third-Party (Government Funded) Medicare ( Medicaid( See Medicaid Waiver programs below. Older American s Act Services ( Veteran s Administration ( Social Services Block Grant Programs- Title XX ( Third-Party (Private) Private Health Insurance Medigap or Medicare Supplemental Insurance Long-Term Care Insurance Managed Care Organizations CHAMPUS(for retired military personnel) Workers Compensation Medicaid Waiver Programs These are programs that fund the services necessary for an individual to remain at home instead of living in an institutionalized residential setting, such as a nursing home on Medicaid. These programs "waive" certain federal Medicaid regulations so Ohioans can try less costly, community-based programs. Ohio offers many different Medicaid waiver programs. For a detailed explanation of all of them go to the website. From there go into the For Ohioans section and look under Long Term Care Parts of the state including Central Ohio are part of a new demonstration called My Care Ohio in which Managed Care Organizations assume responsibility for people who are eligible for BOTH Medicare and Medicaid. Many people in Central Ohio on Medicaid Waiver programs will be enrolled in My Care Ohio from For more information, see CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING Your Aging and Disability Resource Network Page 3

6 Local County Aging Services Tax Levies. In Ohio many counties fund aging services through local property or sales tax levies. These counties often have a variety of home based services available on a sliding fee scale. In Central Ohio this includes the following: Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, and Union Counties. Fayette County is the only county in Central Ohio without an Aging Services Tax Levy. For information on all Ohio aging services tax levies go to: Contact Information for Central Ohio Aging Tax Levy Services o Delaware County--Council for Older Adults, o Fairfield County--Meals on Wheels of Fairfield Co., o Franklin County--Franklin Co.

7 3. Types of Home Based Services Available Care or Case Management/Care Coordination Typically provided by a nurse or social worker who assesses the client s service needs, then coordinates and monitors all services. Case management is provided for consumers enrolled in many government-or local tax levy funded home care programs. For individuals not eligible for government-funded programs, it may be helpful to hire a private Geriatric Care Manager to provide this service. To learn more about private Geriatric Care Managers and/or find a local service provider contact: National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers at or search their online national directory at Adult Day Program also referred to as Adult Day Care Programs offering social and recreational activities, supervision, health services, and meals in a protective setting for older adults with physical or cognitive disabilities. Typically open weekdays during business hours. May provide transportation to and from the center. Very often helpful for family members seeking caregiver relief. Chore Services Assistance with heavy house cleaning, minor home repairs, and yard work. Companions Provide conversation, supervision and some help with meals or tasks. Emergency Response Systems (ERS) A service that provides individuals with a call button, which alerts a call center to get help from family, friends, or emergency services. Services may include smoke detection and medication reminders. Services/units may be rented or purchased. CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING Your Aging and Disability Resource Network Page 5

9 Nurses Provide medical care and medical monitoring. Respite Care Short-term care provided for an older person to allow caregivers time away from their caregiving role. Provided by trained professionals or volunteers in the home or by short-term admission to an assisted living or nursing facility. This type of care may also be offered in an Adult Day Setting (see above). Senior Centers Provide social activities, information and a range of services. May be a community dining location, and may offer transportation to members living in their service areas. Telephone Reassurance Regular phone calls to check on the person s well being. Transportation Services Provide rides to medical appointments, shopping, and other activities. Franklin County Community Care Registry (CCR) (phone ): A registry and referral service provided by the Franklin County Office on Aging. A free service that assists individuals and families with finding and hiring self-employed home care workers. Provides information on pre-screened, experienced home care workers whose qualifications, availability, and service fees match the needs of those seeking help with care. Program participants interview and select the home care worker of their choice. CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING Your Aging and Disability Resource Network Page 7

10 4. Hiring Home Based Services These services can be provided in the home, condominium or apartment. The cost varies widely by the type of service needed, the intensity and the type of provider hired. Services can be medical and not medical. Most home care providers offer more than one type of service (e.g. chore services vs. homemaker vs. personal care). Whether hiring an agency or self employed individual, it is important to establish what types of service you need ahead of time. Should I Hire An Agency or Self Employed Worker? Families seeking private home care often wonder whether they should look towards an agency to provide services or hire individuals to provide them. There is no right or wrong answer. Every family should find a solution which best fits their situation. Considerations For Hiring Self-Employed Home Care Workers As The Employer You Will Need To: Locate private home care workers. Interview the workers. Check references, criminal background, driving record, certification/licensure (if applicable). Obtain liability insurance for worker injury in the home. Train & supervise the workers. Review worker performance. Arrange backup coverage for worker illness or other time off or hire more than one worker. Pay the worker, file and pay Medicare & Social Security taxes for the individual. If necessary, fire the worker. Hiring A Self-Employed Worker: May be less expensive than going through an agency - if paying privately. Provides more opportunity to choose a compatible worker. May allow more flexibility in scheduling. May allow more flexibility in the kinds of assistance the worker can provide. CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING Your Aging and Disability Resource Network Page 8

11 Background Checking Self-Employed Home Care Workers Resources To Help: Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation (BCI & I) WebCheck - electronic fingerprinting system, can do both State of Ohio and National (FBI) background checks. For more information and to locate a WebCheck agency go to: "Services", then "Background Checks". Fees vary slightly. Approximate cost for both Ohio and national checks is $60 Considerations For Hiring A Home Care Agency The Agency Will: Handle the employer activities listed previously. Conduct an assessment by a professional and develop a plan of care to monitor your loved one s progress. Communicate with the doctor and alert him/her to any changes that may develop and obtain additional doctor s orders for medical treatments, equipment, and supplies. Agencies May: Accept Medicare, Medicaid, or Insurance for some types of care. Give consumers limited choice in the home care worker assigned. Have less flexibility in scheduling. Have less flexibility in the kinds of assistance provided. Be more expensive if paying privately, due to administrative costs. Request & Call Agency References. In addition to former clients, these might include referring entities such as hospital or nursing facility discharge planners, doctors, and community home care programs. Some national agencies set standards and providers can apply to be checked to see if they fulfill these standards. These Accrediting Agencies are: Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc., Community Health Accreditation Program or ext 242, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations , CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING Your Aging and Disability Resource Network Page 9
