Home Instead

Home Instead is a homecare agency serving Meridian, Mississippi and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Mississippi, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Mississippi State Department of Health and generally must maintain a Personal Care Home License. Mississippi requires licensure for personal care services.

Payment Options: In Mississippi, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Elderly and Disabled Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Mississippi Division of Medicaid or visit https://medicaid.ms.gov/ to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Mississippi State Department of Health for more information about homecare services in Mississippi.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
