| Services: | Skilled Home Care- Skilled home care services assist both children and adults who need short term care in their recovery from illness, injury, surgery or help with a changing medical condition. Weekly home visits by your nurse or therapist are coordinated under a care plan approved by a physician. Along with caregiver support from family and friends, services from AHCH social worker, home health aide or visiting volunteers are also provided when needed. Coverage provided through Medicare, MaineCare, and health insurance plans. Subsidized care is also available based on need. Outpatient Mental Health Services- AHCH now offers children and adults with severe chronic and disabling mental health conditions the option of receiving therapy and counseling services in their homes or other settings, such as schools, shelters, and adult and child day care centers. Eligibility for services limited to clients with MaineCare coverage. Hospice- Hospice offers a special program of comfort care for individuals of all ages nearing the end of life and bereavement support for families and caregivers. The choice of hospice care is made in consultation with your physician when your medical condition and prognosis no longer makes curative treatment viable or desirable. Whether you live at home or in a care facility, hospice brings quality to the time spent with family and friends by addressing your physical and emotional comfort through pain and symptom management, counseling and spiritual and volunteer support. Coverage provided through Medicare, MaineCare, and health insurance plans. Subsidized care is available based on need. Supportive care- Supportive care provides individuals and families with extra help in maintaining safety and independence at home with affordable care services. Services range from help with household tasks and personal care to companionship, respite for family caregivers and specialized nursing. You can flexibly purchase services for a few hours a week or several times a month-up to 24 hours a day. Unlike skilled home care, you directly manage most supportive care services without pre-approval of a physician. Private pay with coverage through long-term care insurance and some health insurance plans. Lifeline- Residents in the Oxford, Franklin, and northern Cumberland Counties can purchase Lifeline Personal Response Services through the AHCH. The wearable Lifeline device provides a quick telephone response from trained Lifeline staff in the event of a medical emergency.
