In Home Care
SeaStar Senior Services now takes Medicaid!
SeaStar Senior Services complies with the Oregon Administrative Rules in both areas of hiring our caregivers and onboarding new clients.
Clients can be assured that before a caregiver comes to their home, they have been carefully vetted with background and reference checks, drug tests, received training, and been evaluated by our nurse to provide care and administer medications.
Clients also are assessed for their specific needs, with a written service plan detailing caregiver tasks, before a caregiver comes to their home. This helps ensure the right match and fit for the client's needs.
