Homemaker Services

     Description Homemaker services are those general household activities such as meal preparation, laundry, vacuuming and routine household cleaning provided by a trained homemaker, when the person who usually handles these tasks is unable to perform them. The intent of this service is to ensure that the beneficiary's home environment remains clean, safe, and sanitary.

In-Home Support Services

     Description In-home supports are services that provide a beneficiary in a supported living situation with 4 to 24-hour-a-day assistance from a support worker or support workers. The support worker may live in the beneficiary's home or apartment and share living expenses (rent, utilities, phone, etc.) with the beneficiary. The support worker provides companionship and personal care, and may assist with or perform activities of daily living and other duties necessary to maintain the beneficiary in supported living. The in-home support services are separate and not a replacement for the services performed by a supported living coach. Some beneficiaries in supported living may need only the services of an in-home support worker, or only the services of a supported living coach. Other beneficiaries may need both services. When both services are used, the providers must coordinate their activities to avoid duplication.
