I’m scheduled to have surgery next Tuesday, and I need to hire someone to pick me up after surgery and bring me home, spend the night and take me to the doctor the next day.

Next steps to sign up for the Home Health Care
Understand the difference between home health care and home care (non-medical) through the “Caregiver tips” section of the Olera platform.
Contact the provider to schedule an initial consultation or assessment and discuss your loved one's specific care needs and expectations. You can do this through the "connect" function on this web page.
Verify the provider's accreditations, licenses, and certifications.
Determine if home health care is the appropriate solution for you/your loved one's needs. The Olera Care Planner can assist you with this decision.
Review their medical and skilled care services.
Talk to the physician of the person you are caring for to understand their medical and care needs. Ask the physician for a referral to a local care service if possible.
Next steps to sign up for the Home Care (Non-medical)
To start home care services like help with bathing, meals, or companionship, you can reach out directly to home care agencies. No doctor’s referral is required. Most home care is paid privately, by long-term care insurance, or through Medicaid waiver programs. It’s important to compare providers based on caregiver training, reliability, and responsiveness; our site helps you compare local options, message providers, and start the prequalification process. The typical next step is a free home assessment to create a personalized care plan.
