- Young at Heart’s Caregiver Program
- The Caregiver program is aimed to assist at home Caregivers 18 and older that are caring for a qualified receiver 60 yrs or older or a person 18 and older taking care of a person with Alzheimer’s disease or related Dementia, to aid the caregiver in keeping their care-receiver in the home.
- The Caregiver program provides light homemaking, respite services, and personal care, along with assistance, information, and education on caregiving and Alzheimer’s Disease/Dementia.
- Our respite services are designed to assist the caregiver with that much-needed break; it allows the primary caregiver to hit the “reset” button which helps them continue to provide care to loved ones.
- Caregiver Support: At this time we do not have a support group. Monthly information is sent out to caregiver clients on related conditions/issues.

- Young at Heart’s Home Health Care
-
The goal of the YAH Home Health Care Agency is to help patients recuperate at home and to remain independent at home for as long as possible. As insurance companies strive to reduce costs, standards have been set for how long a person may stay at the hospital for certain procedures or illnesses. Unfortunately, not everyone recovers at the same speed.
Rather than have people go home from a hospital to try to care for themselves or to have to go into a rehabilitation facility, home health care can provide skilled nursing services along with personal care from certified nursing aides, physical therapy, and other services to the person in his/her own home. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance will often cover the complete cost of home care.
Numerous studies have shown that people who are ill, have suffered an injury or who have had recent surgery, recover more quickly in their home environment. The cost for nursing home care can be prohibitive for someone who just needs assistance with bathing, dressing, or light meal preparation. Sometimes simple strengthening exercises are all that is needed to help someone regain their independence.
We will provide care to adults 18 years and older. A doctor’s order is required for services. Our office can assist you in obtaining an order.
In-Home Services provide homemaking support to adults age 18-59 who are disabled and to those age 60 and above who are unable to perform normal daily tasks independently due to multiple physical and/or environmental conditions. Eligibility consideration included but is not limited to, physical, emotional or cognitive functions, and possible abuse or neglect.
In-Home Services is a cost-sharing program funded jointly by the State of Wyoming, Sweetwater County, and patient resources, and is determined on a sliding fee scale according to patient income.
PERSONAL CARE SERVICES: Bathing, Shaving, Dressing, Hair Care, Feeding.
HOMEMAKING SERVICES: Light Housekeeping, Meal Preparation, Shopping, Laundry.
