How to Choose a Home Health Aide Agency:

1.  Has the Home Health Aide been screened, trained and received continuing in-service education?

2.  Does a professional person assume responsibility for your care?  Is that person available in an emergency?

3.  Does a licensed person from the agency visit your home at regular intervals to assess the quality of the care you receive?

4.  When personal care is to be given as part of a plan of care, is nursing supervision provided to the aide?

6.  Does the agency have legal authorization to operate?  In New York State it must be certified or licensed.

7.  Does the agency have a board of directors or advisory committee representative of the community?  Is a list of those persons available?

8.  Is the agency surveyed by the state Department of Health?

9.  Does the agency have a sliding fee scale?

Greater Adirondack Home Aides meets all the above criteria.

What's the Cost of Service?
The fee is based on the actual cost of providing the service.  For eligible persons, the fee may be partially or fully offset by Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or other funding sources.
