Q: Are your home care services covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance?

A: Absolute Companion Care offers non-medical home care services which are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. We do accept some long-term care insurance plans.

Q: How are your caregivers screened and what are their qualifications?

A: At Absolute Companion Care, all of our caregivers undergo a rigorous selection, training, mentoring, and evaluation process. We have an extensive phone and in-person interview process. If we invite the applicant to join our team, he or she must pass county, state, and federal background checks, provide proof of residency, have a clean driving record, and pass a health and drug screening. We verify previous employment and speak to each candidate’s references. The new caregiver then reports for extensive training in company policy and client procedures. Our companions are required to have life and/or work experience in providing care. Caregivers hired to provide hands-on assistance with daily personal care are usually licensed certified nursing assistants (CNAs). All caregivers receive extensive training and are supervised by a registered nurse. Our caregivers always have an RN available to answer any questions while with their client.
