Reliance and Medicaid

Did you know that Reliance Home Health Care also take Medicaid patients? We do!

Reliance wants to give back to the community by lending a helping hand to those with Medicaid. Most home health care companies don't do this simply because they lose money. While this may be a good business move, caring for living and breathing people is more than just business for us. With the help of the Long-term Care Community Diversion Program of Florida, we are able to keep Medicaid beneficiaries out of nursing homes and in their own homes. Not only does this benefit them, but it also saves the government $4 to $6 thousand every month by taking care of the patients in their homes.

While we believe this is the civic duty of all home health care agencies, we can only hope that all the others will follow in our footsteps. For now, as with many other differentiating characteristics I have already written about in other blogs, we remain the gold standard of home health care agencies in South Florida.

Veterans

Hi there, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Memorial Day. Speaking of which, I'd like to talk to you about how Reliance Home Health Care supports veterans.

Reliance has initiated a relationship with an accredited veterans benefits counselor to help get benefits to post-military individuals that can, in some cases, help with over $2 thousand a month. This can translate to up to over 100 hours of care a month that the federal government will pay for. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (or, as most people call them, the VA) can be cumbersome to deal with when it comes to getting benefits. These benefits, by the way, are available to any veteran honorably discharged or currently serving, so long as they served during a time of conflict. Conflict doesn’t mean a war, necessarily, although you should contact the VA if you have any questions whether you served in a time of conflict or not. Whether they served in the actual conflict doesn’t matter, so long as they served during the time of conflict. This application process is a free service and it is ILLEGAL to charge a fee for this service. Plus, regardless of where you live, we can still help them get those benefits. We don't care if you live in Alaska or Puerto Rico; Reliance is reaching out to all veterans simply to help them obtain the benefits that are already rightly theirs.
