Hourly Home Care

Flexibility, Affordability, and Independence

Sometimes all you need is a little help, sometimes a lot. In either case, A Better Living Home Care can provide a qualified, trusted caregiver suited to you and your family at a fraction of the cost of an assisted living facility. The host of non-medical services and the quality of one-on-one care at home provided by the right caregiver can’t be matched by any facility.

No Agency Minimums

Caregivers are available for as few as four hours up to 24 hours a day. Our agency has no required number of visits per week or month. You determine what schedule is best for you and your family. Whether you are recently discharged and need temporary assistance as you recover, are permanently disabled, or just feeling the natural effects of aging, we will provide the right caregiver for you

What are the Benefits of Hourly Home Care?

Family caregivers get much needed relief. Family members providing care for loved ones are under-appreciated and over worked. Hiring a caregiver will ease your burden, and provide you time to recuperate, or pay attention to the things you’ve neglected.

Regain your freedom. Don’t be a prisoner to your physical challenges. A caregiver can provide the personal care and assistance you need to preserve your freedom. Set your own schedule and get the help you need at home when it’s convenient.

Reduce the time spent on everyday tasks that have become difficult. If everyday tasks like dressing, bathing, housekeeping, shopping and cooking are challenging, or seem to take all your time, it’s time to get the reliable help of a caregiver.

Regain your independence. Relying on friends, neighbors and even family members can be uncomfortable, and it can be frustrating. You won’t have to rely on the charity of others, or feel you are imposing when you hire a caregiver to help.

It’s cost effective. The cost of care for an hourly caregiver working 40 hours per week costs less than the average assisted living facility in the Sacramento area, according to Genworth’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey.

Peace of Mind. Knowing your caregiver is there to help you while ensuring your safety, provides peace of mind to both you and concerned family members and loved ones.

Is Hourly Home Care More Affordable Than a Nursing Home?

In-Home Care is an affordable choice for seniors who want to remain in their homes, instead of a facility. The Sacramento Area monthly cost in 2020 for a full-time In-Home caregiver is less than assisted living facilities and nearly half the cost of a semi-private room in a nursing home. 

A Better Living Home Care is a full-service home care agency committed to providing the best value in home care throughout Greater Sacramento.

In-Home Care is more affordable than nursing home care, and remains a flexible alternative.

Does Medicare Pay for Hourly Home Care?

Medicare only provides coverage for “medical services”. Home care services provided by home caregivers are not considered medical service by Medicare—they are “non-medical” services. Therefore, they are not a covered benefit of the Medicare program, and not eligible for payment.

After a hospital discharge, it’s not unusual for our clients to have both a home health care/hospice agency provide medical services, and home caregivers providing the “non-medical“ essential care and assistance that enables recovery at home and allows seniors to age in place.

  • Medicare covers inpatient hospital care, medical professional fees and other medical items for people who are age 65 or older. Medicare Part D also covers many prescription drugs.
 
  • Medicare may pay up to 100 days of skilled nursing home care or inpatient rehabilitation care under limited circumstances. However, custodial long-term nursing home care is not covered.
 
  • Medicare covers hospice care delivered in the home, a nursing facility or an inpatient hospice facility for people who are determined by a doctor to be near the end of life.
 
  • Medicare will cover medical services provided by a home health care agency, such as a visiting nurse, physical/occupational therapist, and other medical professionals after a hospital discharge.
 
  • Medicare will not cover the cost of non-medical home care (long-term) in the home, even though the services home caregivers provide may be essential to being able to receive home health care and hospice services.
