Q:
Can your nurse aides run errands for clients?
A: Yes. Our aides can run
errands such as grocery shopping and picking up prescriptions
from the pharmacy, etc.
Q:
Are your nurses aides allowed to transport their clients to the
doctor, the store, etc.?
A: No. The Missouri Department
of Health and Senior Services prohibits nurse aides from transporting
their clients. However, in certain pre-approved situations, the
aide is allowed to accompany the client on the bus or with a client's
family member to appointments.
Q:
Can the aide stay overnight with the client?
A: No. The Missouri Department
of Health and Senior Services prohibits the aide from residing
in the client's home for 24 hour periods or more with the client.
Clients always have the choice of paying for private duty should
the need arise.
Q:
How many hours of service can I qualify for and how do I go about
obtaining Medicaid services?
A: This depends on several
factors. Monthly hours vary from client to client from as little
as sixteen hours per month to over 300 hours per month. You can
find out how many hours you qualify for by calling the Missouri
Department of Health and Senior Services or one of our staff members
will assist you in contacting your case manager or refer you to
the intake department at the Missouri Division of Senior Services.
