ADA Extended Home Care provides professional, quality in-home care at competitive and affordable rates. Because clients have different needs, we give exact costs after an assessment is completed. Costs depend on the medical condition of your loved one and the level of care required (companionship, assistance with personal hygiene, feeding, assistance with walking, assistance, helping bedridden client) as well as the level of caregiver experience required (e.g. housekeeping versus post stroke care). When we decide the cost of care services we also take into consideration how frequently you need help (twice per week vs. every day). Our services start at around $36.00/ hr.
You will receive an invoice for our services by email weekly. Payment is due upon receipt. You can paid weekly by an etransfer or check in the mail.
We know that inviting a caregiver into your home is an act of trust. At ADA Extended Home Care, we go out of our way to ensure you can feel comfortable with the caregivers we provide. We ensure that each of our caregivers:
* Passes a criminal background check
* Passes a reference check
* Has a minimum of a year of experience working as caregiver
* Is thoroughly interviewed
* Undergoes competency testing after training
* Has a valid driver’s license when needed
* Has an up to date vaccination record
* Knowledge of another language as asset
We at Ada Extended home care know that personality is essential when we match our caregivers with you or with your loved one. Someone can have all the credentials and experience in the world and simply not have the right personality. We also make sure during the matching process that there is common ground (ideally the same language) between the caregiver and you or your loved one. At ADA we follow up after the first shift with a caregiver and after the first week, to make sure you are pleased with your caregiver. We will gladly find another caregiver if you request it.
Yes, out of consideration to our caregivers, we require a minimum of four hours per visit. There is an option that visit can be shorter than 4 hrs if you find someone else, perhaps a neighbor, who can receive the service on the same day. You could consider sharing hours with your neighbors with housekeeping services.
