Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a physicians authorization for your services?
No. You don’t need pre-authorization, pre-qualification, certification or even a prescription for Right at Home’s services. You choose the services you want, when to start those services and how often those services are used.
If you request assistance with billing a private insurance policy for our services, we’re happy to help with the entire benefits coordination process. This includes providing any documentation you need for reimbursement by an insurance carrier.
When can you start? How do we get care in the home as quickly as possible?
Our New Dawn Care Coordinator is available to speak with you Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. You can call 902-562-2444 at your convenience to begin the free assessment process.
We follow a Five-Step Approach to Exceptional Care. This includes:
- Step one: a free in-home assessment to learn about your needs, or the needs of your loved one.
- Step two: we then work directly with you or your loved one to build a personalized care-plan.
- Step three: we match you or your loved one with a dedicated caregiver or care team.
- Step four: we provide you with the support you need to feel more confident in your home.
- Step five: we do regular check-ins to ensure your satisfaction and to update your care plan as needed.
How quickly we can begin providing care depends on the type of care required. We can have caregivers in your home anywhere from a few days after your call, to a week or two after your call.
Do we have to sign a contract? What if we want to cancel? What if we want to change the kinds of service we receive?
You can change the number or type of service we provide your loved one whenever it’s necessary. We understand the care situation can quickly change, so we’re as flexible as possible with your loved one’s care. Plus, you’re never bound to a contract, so you can discontinue your relationship with New Dawn Homecare at your discretion.
How are your staff screened when they are hired?
Every caregiver we send to your home is New Dawn Homecare employee and has gone through our screening and orientation processes and has agreed to abide by all New Dawn Homecare policies and procedures. To help ensure the safety and well being of our clients, we perform a criminal record check and vulnerable sector check with each caregiver before they are hired and then cover each caregiver with general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
