The hospice goal is to ease symptoms rather than treat the disease. Under the Hospice program, terminally ill clients and their families receive physical, psychological, social and spiritual support and care. The consumer will recruit, hire, supervise, train, and dismiss aides they have chosen to work for them. The long term care case manager will authorize the adequate amount of time for service. Services include bathing, dressing, cooking, shopping, laundry, and housekeeping.
Clients pay for services on a sliding fee scale.
There is no fee for case management. Personal Care Program - provides a variety of home care services to Medicaid clients. A physician must document medical need of services. Services are provided regardless of age. Homemaker - assists with home management activities, which have no hands on contact with the client.
