Choosing home care for a loved one is a big decision. Here's exactly how it works at Agape, what we'll need from you, and what you'll get in return.
15 minutes with an RN. We'll ask about your loved one's needs, daily routine, current support, and any concerns. No pressure, no commitment.
A registered nurse meets with your family at the home. We assess care needs, look at safety, talk through payment options, and outline a starting care plan.
We choose a caregiver based on personality, skills, and schedule. You'll meet them before care starts. If it isn't the right fit, we re-match — no awkwardness.
If you're not sure what your loved one qualifies for, that's exactly what the consultation is for. We'll help you sort it out.
Ohio's home- and community-based waiver for older adults who qualify for nursing-home level care but want to remain at home. We're an approved provider and handle the paperwork.
Combined Medicare + Medicaid plans for adults dual-eligible for both. We're contracted with CareSource and Anthem for MyCare Ohio.
For veterans and surviving spouses. Options include VA Community Care, Aid & Attendance, and Homemaker / Home Health Aide programs.
Pay directly — by the hour or by the visit. Many families use retirement income or family contribution.
For most families we can begin within a few days of the in-home assessment. Urgent situations (hospital discharge, sudden need) are usually handled same-week.
PASSPORT is income- and care-needs based. The simplest answer: call us, and we'll walk through it together in a few minutes. We can help with the application either way.
We re-match. We'd rather know early than have anyone uncomfortable in their own home. Continuity matters, but only when the chemistry is right.
Yes. Background checks, references, and training before they ever see a client. Ongoing training in dementia care, transfers, and safety. An RN is involved in every care plan.
Yes. We staff overnight shifts, weekends, holidays, and live-in arrangements. Whatever the schedule needs to be.
Yes. We coordinate alongside your hospice team to provide companion and personal care — so the hospice nurse can focus on clinical and your family can focus on time.
It depends on schedule, level of care, and payment path. For most insurance-covered plans, families pay $0 out of pocket. For private pay we provide a clear estimate up front — no surprises.
That's one of the most common questions. We can help start the process — including Aid & Attendance, which many surviving spouses don't realize they qualify for.
One 15-minute call. No commitment. Honest answers.
