A+g Essentials

A+g Essentials is a homecare agency serving West Memphis, Arkansas 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 Arkansas, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Arkansas Department of Human Services and generally must maintain a Home Care Agency License. Arkansas requires licensure through the Office of Long-Term Care.

Payment Options: In Arkansas, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like ARChoices in Homecare Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Arkansas Department of Human Services or visit https://humanservices.arkansas.gov/divisions-shared-services/medical-services/ to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

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. Visit Arkansas Department of Human Services for more information about homecare services in Arkansas.
