Are home care and home health the same thing?
People often use these terms interchangeably because both are provided in a home setting, but they are distinct services. The key difference is that “home health” is clinical care, and “home care” (also called “custodial care” or “senior care”) is non-clinical care. Home health care is delivered as part of a physician’s care plan, such as recovering from a surgery, rehabbing from an injury, or learning new skills to adapt to a significant change in health status. Home care, on the other hand, involves support for daily living activities and/or personal care. There are nuances, and there are situations where a person might make use of both services, but these are the basic differences between the two. All Saints offers both home health and home care services. See our home health services here. For information on home care, visit our All Saints Home Care website.

Advocacy Alert - advocacy needed related to the American Health Care Act: For several weeks, a Senate work group has met regularly to develop a Senate proposal to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) working behind closed doors, with no hearings and without being considered by any committee. While bill specifics remain unknown, what is clear is that the Senate is likely to follow the House in proposing an ACA repeal and replace package that will likely move very quickly with little opportunity to make changes and improvements. The Senate is expected to start debating legislation as soon as June 26th and may vote on final passage by the July 4th Congressional recess. Should an ACA repeal and Medicaid reform bill pass the Senate, we fully expect that it would quickly pass the House and be signed into law. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a non-partisan entity, estimates the American Health Care Act (AHCA), which passed the House in May, would have a significant impact for the poor, those very sick or with chronic health conditions, and older Americans. The CBO estimated that the current version of the AHCA over the next 10 years would have the following impact: • Cause 23 million people, including 14 million (17%) Medicaid beneficiaries, to lose health insurance coverage. • Cut $800 billion—or nearly 25%—from Medicaid. • Restructure Medicaid from the current federal-state partnership to a block grant structure capping federal funding to states. Restructuring Medicaid reduces federal Medicaid spending shifting the cost and risks to states. Potential impact of a block grant structure are life-time limits for enrollees. For example in some states they have moved toward a five year limit, meaning a person can only be on Medicaid for five years. The AHCA does not adequately address the concerns of repeal and replace of ACA, and fundamentally undermines federal support of Medicaid weakening long-term care safety nets for older adults. The time to act is now, and advocacy on this important issue cannot wait until details of the Senate bill are disclosed. What you can do is reach out to lawmakers and your appointed representative about the importance of protecting Medicaid, especially for older adults. Write or call your Senators today! Tell them to: • Stop writing health care reform behind closed doors • Hold hearings on the bill • Give the public time to read and understand the bill before being rushed through the Senate • Don’t cap and cut Medicaid Get connected to your Kansas Senators’ offices today!

May 12th Posting Join the conversation “I sometimes I feel like I do not get support from my friends" Have you ever felt this way? So often people say "let me know if I can help." They mean well but sometimes friends are not aware of your actual needs or really know how to offer help. Try this: Communicate effectively - tell them what you need help with specifically (ex. picking up a prescription, yard work, transportation to church) Be realistic about what your friend maybe able to do (consider their availability, time restraints, their caregiving duties (children, grandchildren, parents), are they capable of doing what you're asking? Express gratitude - A thank you note, an email, a hug, lunch or tea at your house. For extensive help they may have offered consider a bottle of wine, mixed box of root beers, gift card for coffee/lunch, dinner at your house or reciprocate and give them a hand if you're able.
