Touching Hearts Senior Care is a privately owned company that specializes in offering assistance to seniors to help them maintain their independence. THSC provides in-home non-medical services to seniors and those with disabilities. As such, THSC's caregivers can help with anything ranging from light housekeeping and laundry to bathing and dressing needs to incidental transportation. All THSC caregivers are thoroughly screened before hire and are licensed, bonded, and insured. Caregivers are available for time frames ranging from one hour to around-the-clock care.
THSC also specializes in Elder Care Case Management. With these services, THSC Case Managers are able to help older adults and their loved ones with all of the following:
CARE MANAGEMENT
THSC works with older adults and their loved ones to develop a plan of care and services that promotes autonomy and independence. We assist with Long-term Care Policy Reviews, Asset Protection Planning, Alabama Medicaid Exempt Trust Accounts, and Medicaid/VA Eligibility.
FAMILY MEDIATION
We work with the older adult and their loved ones to facilitate communication and informed decision making. This process can help avoid expensive and emotionally taxing court involvement. Voluntary mediation can help families confidentially settle disputes concerning: Care assessment and assignment of responsibilities; Living arrangements; Who should be appointed power of attorney, health care proxy, etc.; How finances should be managed; Estate and trust planning and administration.
DAILY MONEY MANAGEMENT
We encourage individuals to remain in control while receiving the right amount of support in an effort to avoid errors that could potentially lead to both financial loss and loss of independence. We can assist the senior with any of the following: Paying bills and resolving billing discrepancies; Identifying need to create or update important legal documents; Inventorying documents for monthly budget and year-end tax planning; Negotiating with creditors.
MEDICAID AND VETERAN'S BENEFITS
We can help in accessing public and private benefits and entitlements, and can answer the following questions: How can I qualify for Medicaid and still protect my home and assets? How do I possibly avoid Medicaid spend-down and understand look-back periods? What is a Medicaid Exempt Trust and how does it benefit me? Do I understand VA benefits and what is Aid & Attendance? Do I understand what my long-term care policy provides?
PATIENT NAVIGATION
Have you or a loved one just been released from the hospital? We can help you identify and prioritize your unique needs such as utilizing employee benefits and health and long-term care insurance claim reconciliation.
