ANEW Home Health Care Services

ANEW Home Health Care Services sits in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and has helped seniors and people with disabilities since 1983, first joining Medicare in 1984, and people tend to recognize the name because it offers a lot of different things under one roof, so you'll see things like nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, home health aide help, homemaking, personal care, and even medical social workers who come to the home, and there's a focus on letting people stay independent, like services through Supportive Homecare Options, Inc., where staff come in and help with cooking, cleaning, dressing, and moving around the house, and you'll see that caregivers handle meal prep, medication reminders, grocery shopping, and deep cleaning through something called ANEW Heavy Duty Cleaning, which offers vacuuming, sanitizing, and even help with packing and moving through Milwaukee Express Moving, mostly for the frail elderly in Milwaukee County. Staff, including nurses, personal care workers, and companions, go to where clients live, with all staff getting background and reference checks, plus interviews and health screenings, and sometimes the staff even live onsite. There's a ton of different backgrounds because ANEW runs the state's largest CNA training program-in several languages too, including Russian, Spanish, and Hmong-and that means you find a lot of well-trained caregivers, some of whom work in hospitals, nursing homes, home health, and even hospices, and the pass rate in the training is very high, at 99%. ANEW also has programs for money management, called QHO Financial Services, working as a representative payee, and helps with long-term care management under the Family Care program, helping over 700 members each month through an interdisciplinary Care Management Unit with staff like registered nurses and care managers, most with four-year degrees in health or RN licenses. At Highland Gardens Supportive Living, people who need frequent help during the day but who can be alone at night get support from aides in subsidized apartments, with daily help like bathing and home safety. ANEW offers all sorts of rehabilitation, wound and catheter care, IV therapy, and will work with families and clients to set up care plans for dementia, hospice, and everything else related to staying home safely-there are also community resources, education support, job placement help for paraprofessionals, and programs for adult daycare, adult care, companionship, and senior food delivery. ANEW helps people transition back to work and provides special programs for W-2 Agencies, Wisconsin Job Service, and Vocational Rehabilitation, and even has a fiscal agent service that deals with employment and payroll help. The company is family-run with a focus on helping people stay safe and comfortable at home, and hourly rates for in-home care usually range from $20 to $27, with availability that depends on each person's needs. People often talk about the activities available like art, crafts, group education, and wellness, and outside of health care, ANEW's involved in community events, resource fairs, and job opportunities, and the company's spent more than three decades building up a reputation in Milwaukee and nearby, trying to help the elderly and disabled keep their dignity and independence with compassionate care and a team approach.
