Choosing a home care provider can be a difficult decision. According to one source there are over 1300 providers operating in Pennsylvania, with hundreds operating in Philadelphia alone. With numbers like that and advertisements for home care services everywhere you turn, how do you know which provider you can trust to offer the best care for you or your loved ones?
In a crowded field of providers, JEVS Care at Home stands out. Here’s why:
A Mission-Driven Nonprofit
JEVS Care at Home is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are mission-driven to help seniors and adults with disabilities live fully and independently. This mission keeps our focus squarely on the needs of our clients.
Experience and Expertise
JCAH is a program of JEVS Human Services, which has been serving the SE Pennsylvania community for over 80 years. We’ve been providing home care services since 2012, and we are consistently recognized as an industry leader. Most recently, we earned the 2024 Provider of Choice, Leader in Experience, and Employer of Choice awards from Home Care Pulse, a consumer satisfaction research firm that specializes in home care. JCAH is also fully accredited by CARF, a non-profit accreditor of health and human services organizations.
Medicaid Expertise and Family Caregiver Program
We have long experience working with qualified Medicaid recipients. We are experts in navigating the application process for free services through the various Medicaid “waiver” programs. Also, our Family Caregiver Program allows Medicaid clients to choose a family member or friend as their caregiver. This option provides comfort and familiarity while ensuring professional-level care.
Serving Our Veterans
We proudly support Pennsylvania veterans who are eligible for free services through the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide program. Our team is highly experienced in coordinating care through the VA system. If you’re a veteran looking to switch from another agency, we’ll make the transition smooth and hassle-free.
Our In-house Nursing Team: Personalized Care and Highly Trained Caregivers
Not many home care agencies have staff nurses. Our in-house nursing team plays a critical role in making sure we deliver the best care possible. This begins with the personalized Plan of Care that our nurses create for each client. The Plan of Care ensures that our caregivers deliver consistent care that perfect matches the client’s unique situation and needs. Our nurses also train our caregivers, from basic skills to CPR to advanced training in Dementia Capable Care. These are just two of the ways that our in-house nursing team helps us deliver industry-leading care.
Flexibility and Affordability
For those who self-pay for home care services, we offer flexible scheduling options. We can provide support for as few as 4 hours per week, and we offer Respite Care for family members who serve as the primary caregiver for loved ones. We also pride ourselves on our affordable rates, making quality care accessible to more people in our community.
Choose JEVS Care at Home
Selecting a home care provider is a big decision, and we’re confident that we provide the highest-quality home care available. From our nonprofit status and decades of experience to our expertise with Medicaid and VA services, personalized care plans, trained caregivers, flexible options, and award-winning service – we’re a partner you can trust to help you or your loved ones live independently and comfortably at home.
JCAH serves clients in Greater Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, the Lehigh Valley, and Gettysburg. For more information about our services for seniors and adults with disabilities, contact us today: https://www.jevshumanservices.org/jevs-care-at-home-form/
