Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Care

Home care is typically paid for privately, or through a pre-existing long-term care insurance policy. If a long-term care insurance policy is activated, we will submit the ‘plan of care’ to the insurance company and make sure you get reimbursed for the care services. Medicaid provides home care if your assets and income meet the eligibility requirements. Fedelta also accepts VA and L&I insurance. Check with your case manager if we can support you!

Our hiring process is a team effort, and is the most demanding in the industry. We screen our caregivers to confirm the high standards for which Fedelta is known. After certification and past training verifications, as well as reference checks, we collaborate to determine the most dependable, trustworthy and compassionate caregivers. A select few are then subject to rigorous interviews and testing, and only the top applicants are invited to join the Fedelta care team. They become licensed, bonded and insured employees of our agency — rather than contractors — which builds loyalty. In addition, our care coordinators are passionate about identifying just the right caregiver for your loved one. Last but not least, we provide excellent employee benefits to help us retain the best caregivers in the area!

Nurse Delegation offers a more cost-effective means to licensed nursing care when medication administration is required and family members are not available or they do not wish to accept this responsibility. Nurse Delegation allows our caregivers to receive specific direction to administer medications or perform procedures that might otherwise require a family member or medical professional to be present. This can be very helpful when your loved one can no longer take medications without assistance. Nurse Delegation requires specific training on tasks that are usually performed only by licensed nurses.

Yes. In addition to our hourly, overnight and value package shifts, we also provide 24-hour care. 24-hour care is available 7 days a week, and may be provided on an ongoing basis, or for standardized time periods (e.g. Monday-Friday) to allow family caregivers to work outside the home and assume weekend care. 24-hour care can also be arranged as a respite service to occasionally relieve family caregivers or for family vacations. Please read our Home Care overview for more details.

No. Franchise owners pay high fees to own a franchise. At Fedelta we are independently owned and invest our earnings into our caregiver wages and training. Additionally, our clients have more access to our on-call staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
