Frequently Asked Questions

 1. Do you only care for individuals diagnosed with Dementia/ Alzheimer's?

    - While I specialize in caring for these diagnosis, I have also cared for those with a variety of home care needs including mobility needs, post-hospitalization care, nurse advocacy, and education in memory care, diabetes management and living heart healthy. 

2.  Do you bill to private insurances and/or Medicare/Medicaid?

   - Schwartz Home Care Services is a home care services company, not a healthcare company. Therefore I am considered a non-participating provider, so I can only offer services on a private-pay basis.

3. What is private-pay and what would be the hourly rate?

   - Private-pay means care services are paid for out-of-pocket and unable to be billed to health insurance or medicare/medicaid policies. 

   - My hourly rate is $40/hour on weekdays and $50/hour on weekends and holidays.

4. What are your qualifications to provide home care services?

   - I am a licensed registered nurse with four years of home care experience and four years of ICU hospital experience in my career. Please visit the "Annika's Care Experience" link to learn more about my personal experience.
