Respite care is essentially fill-in care for family caregivers. For instance, a retired husband and wife may live together, and the wife is responsible for helping with many daily needs. The wife must leave town for a few days for a graduation or a funeral, but such a journey would be too burdensome for the husband. That family would call Koi Home Care to arrange respite care for the husband while the wife is away.

Koi Home Care can staff a home on the same day in most cases and by the next day in ALL cases. This is a swift response to the need for private duty and the personal care industry.

Koi Home Care works with private pay, long-term care insurance, and multiple community organizations that arrange care for specific individuals. Many long-term care insurance policies reimburse the insured directly, but Koi Home Care still handles the insurance billing for the convenience of our clients. Our rates are pretty competitive. To receive a personal quote, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today..

Koi Home Care takes the privacy of our clients very seriously. Our standing policy states we are not allowed to identify our clients in any way except to those people you specify in writing (such as your doctors and your spouse). All our employees are well trained in patient privacy and know not to identify our clients with their spouses. Furthermore, all patient records are kept in locked cabinets or locked/supervised areas.

You may have an unexpected need for service. You may have a very concerning change in your medical condition and want to discuss it with someone. Koi Home Care answers the phone 24 hours per day, seven days per week. We even have highly experienced home health nurses on call to help you assess those late-night medical concerns after your doctor’s office is closed.

If you have a severe medical emergency requiring immediate attention, please contact 911.

A professional care manager will visit your home to assess your care assistance requirements. You’ll be able to explain your preferences and needs and ensure that you get the services that fit you best. To get the process started, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today.

The cost is determined based on many factors, which range from how services will be paid to how often services will be required and what services you will be requesting. Also, the price may fluctuate based on whether you have long-term care insurance or are paying privately. We accept all long-term care insurance policies, and, in many cases, you will pay nothing out of pocket. If you are paying privately, we will work with you to create a schedule based on your budget. Prices range directly from the services requested as well as the schedule. Since all client’s needs are different, we can accommodate 24/7 care, down to just a few hours a week; however, we have a minimum of 4 hours per day

Just call us at 470-203-6152 or email us at info@koihomehealth.com. We can discuss your care needs over the phone or via email or arrange a visit to your premises and establish a care plan that will suit your needs.

Based on that plan, we can refer caregivers to provide services ranging from four hours daily to around-the-clock care.

Medicare and Medicaid are both government‐run programs. Medicare is strictly a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and over, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End‐Stage Renal Disease (permanent failure requiring dialysis or a transplant).

Medicare Part A and/or Part B may help pay for your home health care if these conditions apply to you:

• You’re under the care of a doctor who accepts Medicare assignments.
• You’re homebound,so you need help or special medical equipment such as a wheelchair to leave home. Homebound can mean that your doctor believes leaving your home could be harmful to your health and very difficult. Your doctor must certify that you’re homebound.
• Your doctor orders home health care for you, certifying that you need in‐home health care because you’re homebound and need intermittent (not continuous) skilled care. Your healthcare provider must create a care plan for you.
• You receive your care from a Medicare‐certified home health agency.

Medicaid is a state and a federal program that provides health insurance to millions of low-income families, children, pregnant women, adults without children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Koi’s dedicated bilingual caregivers speak English and 16 other languages, including Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Russian.

We strive for Caregiver consistency, but we use a small CareTeam so that when substitutes are necessary, you will be comfortable and familiar with those Caregivers.

Hiring a caregiver on your own has its challenges. In addition to paying a caregiver and providing supervision, you will assume liability and pay employment taxes; interview candidates, call references, and run criminal background checks; negotiate pay rates; and ensure candidates have the suitable skill set and training. You will also be “on-call” to deal with a crisis or a worker who has to call out sick. Koi Home Care will provide all these services as part of our hourly or flat-rate fee.

We frequently get calls after an illness or accident, but it’s better to contact us if you notice any subtle changes in your loved one’s health or mobility that might lead to a fall or present a preventable challenge. Bottom line: as soon as you have any concerns about a family member, call us. You can start with limited hours and increase as care needs grow.
