Frequently Asked Questions

What types of services are offered?   
Services are available by the hour, with a 4 hour minimum. Twenty four hour, over-night and live-in services are also available.

Does Insurance pay for our services?
Long term care insurance may pay for in-home, non-medical services. It depends on the kind of policy purchased and how many activities of daily living (ADLs) the client needs assistance with before the policy starts coverage. Usually a physician writes an order as to what ADLs the client needs help with.

Once coverage is determined, we will work with you to make sure you have all the documentation in order for you to file for reimbursement.


What forms of payment can be made for our services?                  
We ask that you pay by check.

What are the costs for services?
Our prices are calculated by the hour and are dependent upon the client’s needs.

How do you choose caregivers?
Applicants must pass a nationwide background check, including the New Mexico Court System and the New Mexico Abuse Registry. The hiring manager calls all the references the applicants have listed. We conduct Random Drug Testing.
