Nationwide Discount Network: CareScout's established and rapidly growing national network of thousands of providers includes home care agencies, assisted living facilities, and adult day care providers. Over 90% of the time, CareScout is able to present qualified individuals with appropriate care providers offering discounted rates.1

Extend Discounts to Family Members:  Certain long-term care policyholders can extend CareScout’s services to non-insured family members, which may result in significant out of pocket savings.2

Stories of Customer Savings:

“We helped a son who was caring for his mother. His mother’s primary diagnosis was Alzheimer’s and she lived by herself in an apartment. Her son told us that she was very forgetful and needs supervision to take her medication but does not wander and hasn’t had any recent falls.  She was independent when it comes to bathing, dressing, and getting around the house. She no longer drives and needed help grocery shopping.  Because she was very resistant to begin having care in the home, we found home care agencies that were willing to start off with just a little care each week so that the family could adjust to the new help.

CareScout found 3 home care providers in 2 business days that met the following criteria:

  • An aide with training in dementia care
  • A licensed home health care agency; Aide must be a certified nursing assistant
  • Part-time availability needed immediately. No hands on care needed – homemaking, meal preparation, shopping, laundry and medication reminders are requested.

The family chose a provider where we were able to negotiate a rate of less than $14.50 / hour where normal rates were $16 per hour.  We sent him a personalized care resource guide that included information on how to choose a home health agency, interview questions, and their state public resources."

“We helped a husband who was caring for his wife. His wife’s primary diagnosis was dementia which resulted in wandering and hallucinations.. She was physically well but needed reminders, refocusing and supervision for safety. He contacted us when she was hospitalized from a wandering incident as he was planning for her  hospital discharge. She was refusing to take medication and he was concerned for her ongoing health and safety.

CareScout found 3 home care providers in 2 business days that met the following criteria:

  • Allows for driving in aide’s car
  • Has aides with experience in caring for those with Alzheimer’s
  • Must be a licensed home health care agency; Aide must be a certified nursing assistant
  • Availability 7 days a week; Live-in Aide

We were able to negotiate for at least one agency to waive the initial assessment fee of $100 as was the deposit requirement, which is typically 2 weeks of service. We negotiated savings off of agency rates of $242 per day to a rate of $229 per day. We also found two other providers with similar rates of $225 per day and $230 per day but those two providers required the initial assessment fee and deposit.  We sent him a personalized care resource guide that included information on how to choose a home health agency, interview questions, and their state public."
