Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, CDS tailors caregiving to your unique needs and preferences.

Relieving a family member or the primary personal care giver temporarily from daily home or personal care tasks.

Beginning care with HomeTeam starts with a straightforward consultation process designed to understand each client’s needs. When someone reaches out for more information, our team first schedules a phone conversation to learn about the individual’s living situation, including their health concerns and daily routines. This is followed by a more detailed in-home assessment where we observe the environment and discuss goals for care. Using this information, we develop a personalized care plan that outlines recommended support and scheduling options. We then carefully match the client with a caregiver who fits both their needs and personality. Once services begin, our team stays in contact through follow up visits and check ins to ensure the care plan continues to work effectively.
HomeTeam understands that families often have questions about how home health care will be funded. Many clients use long-term care insurance policies to help cover the cost of services. In some cases, Medicaid programs may also assist with coverage for individuals who qualify for CDS. Eligibility is typically based on both medical need and financial guidelines. Our team can help families review available options and explain the steps needed to verify benefits. By providing guidance during this process, we help clients feel more confident about planning for reliable care at home.
