| The HCBW program provides an alternative to
nursing home placement for patients who qualify for these services. Under
this program, Home Health Aides are able to provide personal care services,
homemaker services including household maintenance, assistance with laundry
and cleaning, meal preparation, and respite services which allow the
patient's primary caregiver time away while leaving the patient in the home
with adequate supervision. In addition to the services, minor home
adaptation may be provided as needed. The patient is assessed by the Social
Worker who may also provide case management to coordinate the needed
services. |
