Frequently Asked Questions
What is Homecare? Why should I consider it?
Homecare is a service that allows you to receive assistance in your home with services such as: bathing, grooming, laundry, meals, providing companion services and more! Homecare services can be for a short period of time or can be lifelong. If you have Medicaid, you may qualify for services through case management agencies. If not, you can receive services through private pay. Private pay options allows for more personalization of your services. Medicaid wavier programs may limit what you can and cannot receive.
How do I find out about getting services through Medicaid?
You can research Elderly and Disabled Wavier Programs in the "State of Alabama" or other "States". Springs Homecare only provide services for the state of Alabama at this time. You also can contact our office to receive information about point-of-contact for medicaid services.

Do I have to live in my own home to recieve services?
Services can be provided even if:

you do not own your home
