Home Care Path is excited to hear Wisconsin is going to implement a program that provides free cameras for families to monitor care givers helping an elder family member. This is an intervention that is expected to renew measures designed to assure access to adequate levels of care.
Wisconsin is going to hand out free cameras that create video that is sharable. This is significant for demonstrating evidence of changes in the elders cognition and physical function which demands more care. Seniors are receiving care for chronic progressive disease processes that can produce rapid developments requiring more care and the help of more than one care giver.
The good news that Wisconsin will be handing out free cameras means families working with public programs like Family Care and Wisconsin Partnership will have visual evidence of the changes in condition that require additional help for the senior. These videos can now be shown to Long Term Care Insurance plan Case Managers as well as Family Care and Wisconsin Partnership Case Managers which will improve access to adequate levels of care.
Wisconsin's (ADRC) Aging and Disability Resource Center staff can use the video as evidence for the needs of the frail elder which assures eligibility to available programming benefits. The staff of Wisconsin's Home Care Path encourages all families with an elder to contact the free camera distribution department as soon as they become available.
Home Care Path coordinates experienced Elder Care Assistants who can come and help with most anything a family member would do if they could be there. The family is charged 20.00 dollars per hour. The experienced care givers are supported with marketing, payroll, and billing services. Simply call 608-432-4286 and request an elder care assistant visit to get started.
