WHAT IS HOME HEALTH CARE?
As the name implies, it is the ability to provide services in the client’s home. Clients benefit by alleviating the need for extended stays in a hospital or nursing home. People are often amazed at the number of services that can be performed in the home. Paradise Home Health Care refers Home Health Aides (HHA), Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Registered Nurses (RN), and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) to the home. We also have respite care to allow caregivers a well-deserved break.

WHY SHOULDN'T I HIRE MY OWN AIDES DIRECTLY?
Hiring a caregiver on your own can be a very scary endeavor and may cause unnecessary financial and personal risks for the client and family. Do they really have the proper experience? How do you do a background check? What if they cannot make it to work? At Paradise Home Health Care, we assure you that the caregivers have been through an extensive interview, background check, and have undergone a skills assessment by our Care Specialists. Paradise Home Health Care always has an “on-call” list of caregivers available in the event of an emergency. Our commitment is to never have a client go without service.
WILL YOU BILL MY LTC INSURANCE COMPANY DIRECTLY?
