Professional Health Services

Professional Health Services is a homecare agency serving Clarkesville, Georgia and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Georgia, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Georgia Department of Community Health and generally must maintain a Private Home Care Provider License. Georgia requires licensure for Private Home Care Providers.

Payment Options: In Georgia, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Community Care Services Program (CCSP), SOURCE Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns.
