Who we are?

As the fastest growing age group in the USA, the expanding senior population of 65 years of age and over has rapidly increased demand for personal care in an unprecedented fashion. Anchored in Christian values and beliefs, our agency was established with the determination to provide the best home health care for the senior population in the Washington DC area.
Our mission is to provide holistic care in the form of reliable, professional, and spiritual services for each individual client, and in doing so assist in promoting community wellness and happiness. Our company focuses on service providing optimal care with your personal mental, physical, and spiritual wellness at the forefront of our minds.
We at Long life health care believe we can enhance the quality of life of every individual we have the privilege of serving.

Our care service providers believe in the idea of a people-centered service .

As we visit and provide service to each customer, our thoughts turn to our own parents. If my patient was my mother or father, how would I care for them? Our idea of a people-centered service begins with thoughts of looking after our own family. Washington senior homecare will provide the best service through keeping open a constant line of communication based on feedback from the patient and the family. We strive to build a line of trust with our clients and for a promise to provide respectful, on-time care.

Long life health care

Patient Qualification

Long life health care provides services to the elderly, disabled, and other individuals that require in-home care or help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). We aim to make it possible for people to remain living at home rather than being relocated into a long-term care program.

You are eligible to receive homecare if you;

  • Have Medicaid
  • Are an insurance holder
  • Require Private Care

What Is Home Health Care?

Home health is designed to help you recover in the comfort of your home through rehabilitation and skilled nursing services. Home health must be ordered by your physician when he or she determines your condition requires you to remain in the home for rehab and recovery.

What Is The Difference Between Home Health And Personal Home Care Assistance?

The difference between home health and personal home care assistance is the necessity for skilled services. Home health care requires skilled services that would come from a physician’s order. This includes things like registered nurses, physical therapy and occupational therapy.
Personal care assistance involves unskilled services that are typically paid for through private pay (not paid by insurance). These services include help around the house, transportation, bathing and some light meal preparation.

What can I expect on the first Home Health care visit?

On the first visit, a nurse or therapist will conduct an initial assessment. At Long life health care, this thorough interview and professional assessment is part of our coordinated approach to managing your overall health status. Our assessment focuses on identifying areas where you may benefit from education in self-care management and partners with your doctor to promote disease prevention, in addition, to providing hands-on intervention ? which includes the family or caregivers.

Who pays for Home Health care services?

Your state’s Medicaid program or your private insurance may cover home health care. Check with your state Medicaid program or insurance company to learn about their specific eligibility requirements.
Our staff is happy to help determine whether you meet coverage criteria. To learn more, contact us.

Will My Insurance Cover Home Health Services?

Home health is covered 100% by Medicare, and we accept most forms of insurance. Part of the admission process includes verification of insurance. We can help answer your financial and insurance questions.

Will Long life health care Send Someone To Cook And Clean Or Help Around The House?

In some areas of the country, we do provide personal home care assistance. These services include help: 

  • Dressing
  • Bathing
  • Light meal preparation
  • Cleaning
  • Medication reminders
  • Assistance with some of their daily living activities

Can We Arrange For Occasional Transportation To Doctors’ Appointments?

Transportation, especially to medical appointments and procedures, is a popular home care service. It can often be arranged in a few hours, but the more notice given is always better. A regular planned schedule can be set up, or the caregiver can be used on an “as needed” basis.

Do You Provide Caregivers For Someone In An Assisted Living Facility?

Yes, we do. We first arrange a meeting with the family to conduct a thorough assessment and develop a plan of care. This is not only to fully understand what activities or senior care services are needed, but also to get a sense of what kind of personality might best suit him or her. After this is completed, we will match the person with a caregiver. If at any time you would like to change your caregiver, this can easily be arranged.

How Are Caregiver Scheduling And Reliability Managed?

Our agency uses a phone-in time card system that alerts the scheduling supervisor if someone does not check in at the appointed time for any unforeseen reason, so that a supervisor can immediately come by to care for a client until the caregiver arrives or a replacement is arranged. This also guarantees that clients are accurately billed for the actual hours worked. It is one of the major advantages of working with an agency, the assurance and peace-of-mind that back-up staffing is an integral part of the service, especially for frail seniors.
