Develop Plan of Care

At Alpenglow Homecare, we design a Plan of Care that works specifically for you and your loved one rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution. Our personalized approach ensures that our plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of your loved ones.

Our Medicaid-funded in-home care services offer the comprehensive assistance necessary for your loved one to thrive at home while maintaining their comfort and independence. All care plans are approved by your case manager, ensuring that we adhere to the highest standards of care.

We also understand that caring for a medically fragile family member can be challenging and overwhelming. That’s why our care plan accommodates caregivers by streamlining your caregiving routine and reducing stress. Our team specializes in optimizing benefits for caregivers under Medicaid-funded In-Home Support Services (IHSS) and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs.

Navigating these complex programs can be daunting, but you don't have to do it alone. Our knowledgeable team is here to guide you every step of the way, helping you access the support your loved one needs to flourish in their home.

Understanding Plan of Care

A plan of care serves as a detailed roadmap that outlines the specific Medicaid-funded in-home care services your loved one will receive. This personalized plan addresses the demands and needs of their medical conditions, guaranteeing they receive the appropriate level of support to thrive.

Our team works closely with you and your loved one’s medical provider to ensure the plan aligns with their medical treatment. We also adjust the plan of care as needed to align with the recommended treatment plan.

How We Develop Your Plan

Our approach prioritizes comfort and convenience for both you and the loved one you care for.

1. Contact Us
Contact us by phone at 720-812-9555 or through our website to set up a phone consultation. We use this first conversion to gather your information and assess your needs via phone interviews.

2. Collaborative Approach
At Alpenglow Homecare, we value the insights from families and caregivers and combine them with medical advice to develop an effective Plan of Care to address your loved one's needs.

Your insights and concerns as your loved one’s caregiver play a vital role in creating a care plan that truly reflects their circumstances.

We also take into account your loved one's doctor’s recommendations, ensuring that the care plan aligns with their overall medical treatment.

3. Care Plan Approval
After we carefully develop your loved one’s personalized care plan, we forward it to your Medicaid case manager for review and approval. This step ensures the plan aligns with all IHSS program guidelines and is approved for Medicaid coverage.

This would secure the necessary support and resources for your loved one, so they receive consistent, quality care at home. Once approved, the plan allows you to proceed confidently as a caregiver.

4. Navigating Medicaid Waivers
Our team is well-versed in Colorado’s in-home support services available under HCBS waivers, including Children’s HCBS. We provide guidance for all available options to ensure your loved one receives the maximum benefits and support they deserve for in-home care.

5. Ongoing Plan Adjustments
We recognize that the needs of patients with medically fragile conditions can change over time. That is why our team regularly reviews and adjusts the care plan as necessary, ensuring it remains aligned with your loved one's current requirements. Your family’s feedback and changing needs guide each update.

Components of Plan of Care

Our flexible, Medicaid-funded plans at Alpenglow Homecare empower you to tailor the level of support to fit your loved one's specific situation. We recognize that each patient has distinct requirements, and our approach is designed to adapt accordingly.

A personalized Plan of Care can include a wide range of services aimed at delivering the best possible care for your loved one. This customization ensures that every aspect of their care is aligned with their specific medical conditions, preferences, and daily living needs.

Assistance with ADLs

The plan outlines Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), which include essential tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and more, that your loved one may need assistance with. We understand how critical these daily activities are for maintaining your loved one's dignity and quality of life. 

Meal Preparation & Assistance

Proper nutrition is vital for your loved one's health and well-being. We help develop a comprehensive plan that addresses all aspects of meal preparation, from grocery shopping to cooking nutritious meals tailored to their specific dietary requirements.

Mobility Assistance

Where applicable, the Plan of Care can include tailored strategies to support your loved one in navigating their home safely and comfortably. This may include techniques for walking, transferring, and moving around the house with confidence.

Transportation for Medical Appointments

We can help you get authorization for transportation support through the program based on your loved one's needs. This would allow you to receive assistance with transporting your loved one to doctor’s appointments and other essential visits, helping ease your travel and mobility concerns.

Housekeeping & Laundry Services

Our care plan also outlines additional resources to meet your loved one’s needs, including light housekeeping and laundry services. This support can help lighten your workload, enabling you to concentrate on delivering emotional support and high-quality care.

Flexible Care Hours to Fit Your Needs

At Alpenglow Homecare, we recognize that every family’s situation is different. That’s why we offer flexible care hours. Whether your loved one needs a few hours of support each week or more extensive assistance, we can accommodate your family’s needs and preferences.
