Services > Home Care Helper

Home Care Helper is a VisionAge Technology's program to provide products and services to home care providers so that they expand care delivered to their clients, meet clients earlier in the care cycle, solidify relationships with clients, and realize an additional revenue stream in a turn-key model with no investment by the home care agency.

Home care agencies should be involved in the care process before a crisis occurs. If the home care agency is established with the client when a health crisis occurs, the home care agency can help to guide the family through the crisis. Many of the decisions to move a senior to a long term care facility are made in the midst of a crisis by family members who are unaware of home care options, are emotionally involved and are unable to make informed decisions, and are being advised by very busy discharge planners who may not have the time to recommend the best level of care.

VisionAge will continue to evaluate products that improve the lives of seniors and their families and help home care agencies assist their clients so that they may remain in their homes.

The Home Care Helpers Program consists of products and services.

Home care agencies can offer medication dispensers, personal emergency response systems, and remote video monitoring to their clients.

Medication dispensers:

23% of nursing home admissions and 10% of hospital admissions are due to medication non-compliance. Keep your client healthy and at home by recommending a medication dispenser. You can provide a service to reload the machine periodically as well. Since medication non-compliance is normally the first segment of the care process that requires outside help, home care agencies can meet clients at the beginning of the care cycle before family members begin to consider long term care facilities.

Medical Alarms (Personal Emergency Response Systems):

Provide a product that will call for help when your client needs it. Have the monitoring center call your agency when your client needs help.

Remote Video Monitoring:

Much of the information that we gather about the health of a senior is visual. Are they having breakfast at their normal time? Are they properly dressed and attending to their personal hygiene? Is the home neat and organized or are newspapers being stacked up? You can talk to a client on the telephone periodically and see them and their environment to assess their status. The family members can log into a secure website and view their family member to insure that they are safe. (We recommend that cameras be placed in the more public areas of the home where they spend more of their time such as living room or kitchen.)

Shipping:
All products are shipped direct to the customer. You will be forwarded tracking information so that you can follow up with your customer and insure satisfaction.

Billing:
We will provide all billing to the customer (credit or debit card). Commissions are paid to you monthly following the month of service.

Please join us in providing the best products while you provide the best service.
