PERSONAL CARE
Personal Care services are available when they are not Health First Colorado benefits. Personal Care services provide a range of assistance to enable participants to accomplish tasks that they would normally do for themselves. Services may include skin, nail, hair, and mouth care, bathing, shaving, dressing, eating, walking, exercise, transferring, positioning, toileting, and respiratory care. Services may also include grocery shopping, attending routine medical appointments, and meal planning and money management.
HOMEMAKER
Homemaker Services are general household activities provided in the home of an eligible member to maintain a healthy and safe home environment when the person ordinarily responsible for these activities is absent or unable to manage these tasks. Services may be hands-on help, performing a task for the member, or prompting them to perform a task. Homemaking services may include the following: routine light housecleaning, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, laundry, bed making, and meal preparation.
