Batalo Home Health Care is a provider of Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services in Minneapolis, MN. PCAs are trained workers who assist individuals in need of support with their day-to-day activities. These services are typically utilized by individuals on state programs such as Medical Assistance, waiver programs, or Alternative Care. The goal of personal assistance services is to help people live and work independently within their own communities.
PCAs at Batalo Home Health Care help individuals who require support due to illness, disability, or complications related to aging. Services provided by PCAs must be deemed medically necessary through a formal assessment process. This assessment determines if the individual needs help with specific activities of daily living or exhibits Level 1 behavior. Assistance can include activities such as eating, toileting, grooming, dressing, bathing, transferring, mobility, and positioning.
In addition to assistance with activities of daily living, Batalo Home Health Care also offers support for health-related functions that can be delegated by a licensed healthcare professional. This can include tasks such as meal planning, managing finances, shopping, household chores, communication, and community participation. PCAs may also provide redirection and intervention for behavioral issues through observation and monitoring.
For individuals enrolled in Medical Assistance, waiver programs, or Alternative Care, there are options for receiving PCA services through Batalo Home Health Care. Clients can choose to hire their own workers and work with a PCA Choice provider as a fiscal intermediary, or they can opt to hire a home care agency that will oversee the PCA workers. Eligibility for PCA services typically requires being enrolled in Medical Assistance, being able to make decisions about one's own care, and being dependent in at least one activity of daily living.
