Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

What kinds of senior care are there?

They include help at home with daily tasks, care at home from a nurse or therapist ordered by a doctor, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and short-term respite care. Which fits depends on the person's needs, and a doctor or social worker can help assess them.

How much does senior care cost, and who pays?

It varies widely by type of care and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Original Medicare generally doesn't cover long-term care that mostly helps with daily tasks. Other sources can include long-term care insurance, veterans' benefits, Medicaid for people who qualify, and private payment. Ask each provider what is and isn't covered.

How do I choose a provider?

Visit if you can, ask about licensing, talk to current families, and ask how the provider handles problems. Licensing rules for agencies and communities differ by state, so check with your state.

What should I ask about staff and safety?

Ask how staff are screened and trained, how many people each staff member looks after, what happens in an emergency, and how the provider communicates with family.

What should I look for in the contract?

Read everything before signing. Ask what is included, how fees can change, what happens if needs increase, and the terms for leaving or being asked to leave.

How do I involve the person who needs care?

Wherever possible, include them in the conversation and in visits. Their preferences about where they live and who helps them matter.

What if we need help urgently?

If the situation is urgent, such as a return from hospital, say so in your request. The hospital's discharge planner or social worker can also help with immediate arrangements. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

What should I have ready?

Who needs support, what kind of help is needed, whether it is urgent, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a care provider?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't provide care, assess care needs or give medical advice. The professional who contacts you is responsible for their advice and their quote.

Will several companies call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
