FAQs

  • What are your rates?

    Some agencies charge different rates for weekend or nightly hours.

    Our rates are simple: $21.00 an hour for a visit of 3 hours or longer. For a shorter shift, we charge just $26.00 an hour for a 1 or 2 hour home visit. Nurse visits are $50.00 an hour. Discounted rates are available for cases that have 12 consecutive hours or more. For all major holidays we charge time and a half.

  • Do I have to sign a contract?

    We do have you sign a company pay agreement, which outlines our rates and your responsibility with regard to payment. This form is fully explained during our home assessment. Elders’ Helpers provides monthly billing statements and will only bill you for services rendered.

  • How do you schedule service hours?

    During our home assessment the client advocate will discuss scheduling needs. After your initial meeting you will be assigned a client coordinator who will work directly with the family and client to coordinate caregivers and schedule hours. You set the scheduled times and days of visits — whatever works best for you.

  • What are your privacy policies?

    Elders’ Helpers follows strict Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines, much like your doctor’s office. Administrative staff and caregivers will never disclose any information about clients to any unauthorized persons. This is explained in more detail during the home assessment.

  • What if I don't like my caregiver?

    While staffing a case, we always try to schedule caregivers with clients who we feel will work well together. However, this may not always be the case. If you ever have an issue with your caregiver just give us a call at 616-454-8305 and ask for your client coordinator. With over 200 caregivers, Elders’ Helpers can offer unique and wonderful personalities and many skill levels. Let us find the right match for you!

  • Does Elders’ Helpers accept Medicare/Medicaid, insurance, or VA clients?

    Medicare

    Elders’ Helpers is not a Medicare certified agency; therefore, Elders’ Helpers cannot accept Medicare.

    Elders’ Helpers works with the following MI Choice Medicaid Waiver Programs:
