Who We Are

In 1997, Chesapeake Caregivers was founded on principles of compassion and kindness that are applied to everything we do.

Each and every caregiver who represents us is considered part of our growing family. We believe that nurturing and supporting our caregivers is just as important as the care we provide our clients.

We make the effort to really get to know our clients and our caregivers, so that when it’s time to make a match, we do it best!

Our administrative team is passionate about what we do. We work closely together to ensure that operations consistently run smoothly.

Why Us?

Improving the quality of life for your loved ones has been Chesapeake Caregivers’ number one priority since 1997. We understand that trusting a “stranger” to care for someone you love can be difficult, and that is why we hire only the most qualified caregivers. Each goes through an extensive hiring process that includes a detailed skills assessment and background check. For over 25 years we have learned how to help families “stay family” by introducing them to that special caregiver to help take care of the ones they love.

Chesapeake Caregivers Inc. is a family-owned & operated In-Home Care provider.

Testimonials

What our clients say about us…

”Working with Susan & Sam to find the right care for my mother has been made easy by their kind and personalized attention. They are easy to communicate with and very responsive. I love how they don’t panic when a problem arises. They simply share the information and take care of it. They bring no drama-just professionalism. The caregivers they have provided all have different personalities but all have been qualified, kind and reliable. We have used this agency for about 10 months now for both in home and supplemental coverage in an Assisted Living situation. In both cases, the care has been very good! If you want personal service from caring people, look no further!
D Brady

Cost Of Care

The cost of non-medical home care varies depending on where you live and the care you need. We offer a free, no-obligation, in-home assessment, which allows us to provide an accurate cost estimate and discuss how to improve the quality of life of the care recipient in the comfort of their home.

Most often, home care is not only more affordable, but it is more desirable for the care recipient. There is no substitution for 1 to 1 care and interaction between that special caregiver and your loved one. It will give you peace of mind that your family member is safe and cared for and able to stay in the home they love.

We provide level-one home care ranging from a few hours per day, several days per week to 24/7 more complex support. Live-in care is also available.

We accept all Long Term Care Insurance (LTC). To reduce the burden on our clients, we will work directly with the insurance company, providing all necessary documents to ensure that reimbursements are received promptly.

Long Term Care Insurance:
A long-term care insurance policy assists in funding the costs of that care when you have a chronic medical condition, a disability, or a disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease. Traditionally, long-term care insurance policies send a reimbursement check to the client for services paid out of pocket.

Getting Started:
We accept all long-term care insurance (LTC) and have decades of experience working with long-term care insurance companies Chesapeake Caregivers works with many insurance companies including MetLife, Genworth, CNA, among many others and are able to assist you through the process of initiating and maintaining long-term care insurance benefits.

Assessments:
Many long-term care insurance companies require a RN Assessment. We have our staff RN complete an assessment within the first 90 days and every 120 days thereafter. Chesapeake Caregivers will send the assessments to the long-term care Insurance company for review.

Reimbursement:
Chesapeake Caregivers will send the invoice to the client to pay. To reduce the burden on clients, we will submit the invoice and any supporting documents, such as daily care notes & assessments to the long-term care insurance company. If you prefer, we can work with you on setting up a payment option where the long-term care insurance company sends payment directly to Chesapeake Caregivers.

Resolving Issues:
If any problems occur, such as receiving reimbursement(s), initiating a claim, submitting paperwork or any other issues, we will contact the long-term care insurance company on your behalf to resolve the situation.
