Currently, Sinclair Home Care is contracted with United Healthcare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, First Health, MultiPlan, and Mercy. MU Sinclair Home Care continues to work with the University of Missouri Health Care to be added to additional insurance contracts. All of the home care services are available via private pay. The services which are used the most include medication management and home health aide services. Medication Management
Home Health Aide Home Health Aide services are delivered under the supervision of a registered nurse or licensed therapist. You and your nurse/therapist will develop the plan of care to be followed by your home health aide. Typical duties include assistance with bathing/showering, shampooing your hair, dressing/undressing, grooming, changing bed linens, and assistance with other activities of daily living. A major goal of Aging in Place (AIP) is to develop a new approach for long term care services for on-going assessment, early illness recognition, health promotion activities, and services designed to meet individual needs when the person needs them in the privacy of their own apartment. It is the goal of the program to help older people stay healthier and active longer, avoid expensive and debilitating hospitalizations, and for most residents, avoid relocation to a nursing home.
