Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Wellspring assesses each patient individually before recommending a plan. Some families need a few hours of senior home care per week for daily tasks. Others require skilled nursing for wound care or post-surgical recovery. The assessment determines the right level based on actual need.
Wellspring matches caregivers based on clinical skills, experience, and compatibility with the patient’s routine. Family input is part of the process. If a placement is not working, Wellspring finds a better fit.
Senior care in Seattle covers the everyday aspects of life, including personal care, assistance with daily tasks, and companionship. Home health care is the clinical piece: nursing visits, physical therapy, wound care, and similar skilled services delivered at home. Wellspring offers both, and for many clients, the two go hand in hand.
Medicare covers skilled home health services when a physician orders them and a clinical need exists. That typically means nursing visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy for homebound patients. Medicare doesn’t cover personal care tasks like bathing, dressing, and meal prep, though depending on the plan, other insurance may cover some of those costs. Wellspring Home Health works with several providers and can walk families through what their plans include.
