As we all know the month of March is known for St. Patrick’s Day for the lucky Irish folks, “March Madness” for the basketball fans, Women’s History Month, as well as the dreaded daylight savings time where we all lose a hour of sleep… but do we really??? However, there is so much more to March than the traditions of our calendar. Did You Know This Happened in the Month of March …  Scott Kelly, Astronaut for NASA was in space for an entire year before returning to earth, while setting a new record for the longest undisturbed space trip. Twitter was founded by Jack Dorsey whose first tweet was “just setting up my twttr”. Hmmm, I think he spelled that incorrectly 😊 Also, In the Month of March There is … National Peanut Butter Day, National Read Across America Day, Employee Appreciation Day, National Craft Day, and of course there is Pi Day - 3.14 for the mathematicians, and Pie Day for those like me! Since it is Women’s History Month, I would like to give a shout out to our greatest women inventors – Windscreen Wiper - Mary Anderson On a winter's day of 1903, Mary Anderson was visiting New York City when she noticed that her driver was forced to open his window, just to the clear the snow from his windscreen. Every time the window was open, the passengers in the car got colder. Anderson started drawing her solution of a rubber blade that could be moved from inside the car, and in 1903 was awarded a patent for her device. But the invention proved unsuccessful with car companies, who believed it would distract drivers. Anderson never profited from her invention, even when the wipers later became standard on cars. Note to Self: Get new windshield wipers and thank Mary. Stem Cell Isolation - Ann Tsukamoto Her patent was awarded in 1991 and since then Tsukamoto's work has led to great advancements in understanding the blood systems of cancer patients, which could lead to a cure for the disease. Tsukamoto is currently conducting further research into stem cell growth and is the co-patentee on more than seven other inventions. Kevlar - Stephanie Kwolek This chemist invented the lightweight fiber used in bullet-proof vests and body armour. Since her discovery in 1965, the material, which is five times stronger than steel, has saved lives and is used by millions every day. It's found in products ranging from household gloves and mobiles phones to airplanes and suspension bridges. Other Inventions That Were Created By Women Include – The game Monopoly (1904), the dishwasher (1886), home security system (1960), the computer (1944), and so much more! These are just a few fun facts for all of you to ponder in the month of March, so in closing I just want to say – Happy Spring on March 20 th !!! Written By: Nikki Engels 3.1.23 Sources: 1.

    Kare Masters Home Health genuinely cares about our patient’s health and happiness. Through passion, knowledge and personal experience, we recognized a need for quality home care services with an affordable price tag. We are a caring group of people dedicated to providing quality home care services of the highest caliber. When choosing Kare Masters Home Health, rest assured you are receiving the best care possible from people who care.

  • What is home care?

    Home care is a caregiving service that assists those in need from the comfort of their own home. Even the smallest of comforts – sleeping in your own bed or drinking coffee from your favorite mug – can contribute to a more successful recovery and quality of life. We match patients with a professional caregiver to assist them with a variety of home care services at the patient’s home.

  • How long does home care last?

    There is no set length of time for home care—it can vary greatly based on a person’s unique needs. Some home care services may last for a few weeks, while others may be lifelong. If a physician is prescribing your home care, he or she will oversee services until your recovery goals are met. However, if you are making the decision to start home care on your own, you can determine how many hours a week of care you need, and how often. Some home care providers may have a minimum hourly commitment to start care, or require you to sign a contract for a certain duration of time, so it’s important to ask any provider you consider.  

  • Can you only get home care in a private residence?

    No. Home care services can be provided wherever the home is—a private residence, a senior living community, or while staying with a friend or family caregiver.

  • How do people pay for home care?

    This varies from situation to situation. There are many different ways people pay for their home care costs. Some services may be covered by a type of insurance you have, or by Medicare or Medicaid. Some may be covered by workers’ compensation or by Veterans benefits. Also, services can be paid for directly by the person receiving care, which is commonly referred to as “private pay.”


    To ensure you are receiving the right service, at the right time, under the right benefit, it’s important to be aware of all of the various sources available to help pay for your home care services (such as Medicare, your health insurance plan, long-term care insurance, or others.) A home care provider may have specialists who can help you understand if the services you need may be covered by outside sources, and then contact those sources to determine your eligibility. Then, if your care services are in excess of what your coverage allows, you have the option of paying the difference out of pocket.

  • I need to find home care that is "Medicare-certified. What does that mean?

    Many people researching home care may have been prescribed home health services by their physician, and are trying to find a provider whose services are covered by their Medicare home health benefit. The Medicare benefit covers 100 percent of home care services when certain qualifying conditions are met.

  • Who comes into my house to provide the care?

    Different types of care require different certifications and training. Depending on your specific needs, the caregivers and clinicians coming into your home can vary. You could have different caregivers at different times of the day, week, or month as part of your care. Personal care and companionship services are most often provided by a home health aide or certified nursing assistant (CNA). Private duty nursing care and home health care services are provided by registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical nurses (LPNs), physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), or speech-language pathologists (SLPs). A medical social worker (MSW) can help individuals and family members connect with community resources.


    Additionally, depending on the provider you choose, there may be other professionals who don’t come to your home on a regular basis but can be instrumental in helping to manage your care. These experts may help with things like overseeing your overall care experience, coordinating schedules, billing insurance companies, and Medicare directly, and verifying your benefits eligibility. 

  • Why would somebody us home care?

    Home care enables a person to live as independently as possible without having to give up the comforts of their own home. It allows them to be in a familiar environment, sleeps in their own bed at night, and stay close to loved ones like family, friends, and pets. It also brings peace of mind to know they have access to skilled, consistent, reliable care when it’s needed, even if those needs change.


    When compared to other alternatives of care, home care can be significantly more cost-effective. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), at-home care is usually less expensive, more convenient, and more effective. 

  • How are caregivers paid?

    Kare Masters Home Health employs and pays all our caregivers. You will receive weekly invoices via mail or email for services provided. There is no exchange of money between you and your caregiver. We handle all payroll matters which means you won’t need to worry about taxes, social security, or insurance issues.

  • Can you bill my insurance company?

    Yes, we participate with long-term care insurance companies and bill them directly.

  • Can I receive Medicare services through Kare Masters Home Health?

    Yes, we  accept Medicare and all insurances. 

  • What if I want to change the hours after I start service?

  • How do you choose my caregiver?

    Kare Masters Home Health carefully chooses your caregiver based on the skills needed for your care, personality, distance the caregiver must travel, and other criteria clients may determine.

    We make our best effort to match our caregivers to your needs. However, if you wish to make a change, simply call the office and we will find another caregiver.
