I’ve had 6 right knee surgeries so far and I’ve been impressed with my physical therapist’s tenacity, empathy, skill, knowledge, helpfulness, dependability and willingness to research any problem relating to PT I encountered. Her personality was caring and positive and she was extremely resourceful.

What is Home Care?

Home care includes a variety of services that help individuals to remain at home when chronic health conditions or the aging process make it difficult for them to otherwise do so safely. Professional caregivers might assist with activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, supervision or by providing respite care for the family.

Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley’s professional caregivers are available to assist with many tasks, including activities of daily living (ADLs).

Even when clients can independently manage some or all of their ADLs, there are other tasks that must be completed regularly in order to safely remain in the community. These are known as instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)

When family members are available to assist with an individual’s care needs, the benefits are substantial for that person, but the family caregiver may experience episodes of depression, stress or anxiety. To prevent these concerns, respite care is often advised.

Who Benefits from Home Care Services?

Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley has professional caregivers available to assist almost anyone. Our clients include seniors with a goal of aging in place, adults returning home from the hospital and anyone who needs extra assistance with ADLs and IADLs short term, long term or on an intermittent basis.

Who Pays for Home Care Services?

Home care services in San Gabriel Valley typically are not covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, VA benefits or private health insurance unless they are medically prescribed. Even when services are covered, it is usually for a limited period of time or a specific number of hours and visits. In most cases, families will self-pay for home care, and they often find value in the money they spend because it is less expensive than institutional care and supports their loved one’s goal of remaining at home or aging in place.

Options for Funding Home Care:

Reverse Mortgages
Health Dollars and Savings Plans
Caregiver Stipends offered by larger companies
Cashing out Trust Funds
Filing a Workers’ Compensation claim
Investing in Long Term Care Insurance

FAQs

If you don’t see your question, please give us a call: (888) 725-8742

Professional caregivers cannot assist with medical needs including administering medications, managing IVs, wound care or oxygen care. They can provide assistance with ADLs, IADLs and offer supervision and companionship to their clients. If you have medical needs that currently are not properly managed or you are recovering from a hospitalization and need assistance during your rehabilitation, home health may be prescribed. Many of our clients choose to initiate both home health and home care services during these times so that they limit their personal and household responsibilities and can focus fully on their health.

Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley offers many services that can benefit you and your family members. Our respite care program gives your son and his wife necessary time off from caregiver duties while ensuring you always have the help you need. Our home care services also provide you with consistent and reliable care that can be ordered full time or part time so you never have to feel like you are burdening your family members with all of your care needs.

Some of our clients have only one professional caregiver, and others do not. The number of caregivers you have will depend on your preferred schedule and needs, as well as whether or not backup care is ever scheduled. We do promise consistency in care, and all of our professional caregivers are fully trained to meet your needs.

Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley has a strict policy that professional caregivers are not allowed to administer medications. This is because they are not medically trained, and it protects our clients. They do often provide clients with medication reminders, and many find that this service benefits them and encourages them to remain independent. If medication administration is a service you need, please ask about our home health services which can be offered alongside or separate from in home care.

No. Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley is committed to helping adults and seniors to maintain their independence. It is our goal to provide you with the right level of support and individualized care only in the areas you need assistance with. You will always be involved when a plan of care is developed, and we will support and respect your stated goals while also ensuring your safety and comfort.

Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley never requires our clients to sign contracts in order to receive services. This means that you have the freedom to increase, decrease or stop your services at any time without facing a penalty.

Hiring a professional caregiver is a task that should not be taken lightly. At Salus Homecare, we only assign employees, never contract workers, to care for our clients, and each one has undergone an extensive interview process and background check. This helps to ensure that only qualified caregivers enter the homes of our clients, and it provides fragile adults and seniors with peace of mind. Additionally, Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley manages all payroll needs for our caregivers, so our clients never have to worry about filing taxes, paying for workman’s compensation coverage or researching policies to bond and insure the caregivers in their homes. You can do many of these things on your own, but not without making a time commitment and covering the costs involved. Finally, Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley promises that every client will always have backup care if they need it. That is something that most independent caregivers cannot offer, meaning hiring one could sometimes leave you without the care you need.

Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley is committed to complete client satisfaction. If you are ever unhappy with the care you are receiving or disagree with your professional caregiver on any point, our care managers are available to step in and assist. In many cases, concerns can be resolved through mediation or when a care manager speaks directly with your professional caregiver. If this is not possible, we will gladly assign a new caregiver to your case.
