What is your minimum per week?

2 hours once a week! 

Are your services covered by insurance? 

At this time, we do not take insurance. We are private pay. We are approved by the VA to take veterans' benefits. Some long-term care insurance policies will reimburse you for our services. 

When can you start? 

Before we can provide services, we need to schedule a meeting at your home to create a care plan and go over our services. At this time we decide what kind of Caregiver you need and discuss the availability/schedule. 

Can you drive me to my doctor’s appointment?  

We can provide limited transportation to our clients. 

What kind of business insurance do you have?

We have business liability, professional, workers’ compensation, and non-owned auto liability as well as commercial auto for our transportation Caregiver. 

Can you go grocery shopping for me?

Yes, we can go grocery shopping and add the cost of the groceries to your invoice. We have found the best option is if you or someone could order groceries from a local supermarket, and we pick them up on the way to your home. 

What are your rates?

$38-$40/hour, depending on the Caregiver needed. 

How do I pay?

Credit card online or check by mail if necessary.  We can send the invoice to a loved one by email as well. We send invoices weekly. 

What types of Caregivers do you have?

We have Homemaker Caregivers and PCA Caregivers. Homemaker Caregivers provide cooking, cleaning, errands, companionship and other household tasks. PCA (Personal Care Assistant) Caregivers provide the services of a Homemaker plus personal care such as showering, dressing, transfers, and feeding. 

Are your caregivers' backgrounds checked?

Bee Helpful does a full Nationwide Federal Criminal search on all caregivers as of today. NH only requires us to do a state-wide background check. Our caregivers are not only screened for a Nationwide Federal Criminal Search but also for the Elder Abuse Registry, SSN Verification/7 yr Address History, Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, OIG Exclusion List (those who are not allowed to participate with a Federal healthcare program or health services), and the Sex Offender List. 

Do you provide overnight care?

Yes!  We provide sleeping overnight caregivers. The caregiver sleeps in a separate, nearby room through the night and is available if a need arises via monitor. This provides peace of mind for the individual and is on call to assist with bathroom visits, a medication reminder, or reassurance after a bad dream.  Best suited for individuals who generally sleep during the night, do not wander or fall easily, and occasionally need a helping hand.

Do you provide dementia care?

Yes! Our caregivers have 4 hours of Dementia Care Training yearly and 6 hours when hired. 

Can we change our schedule?

Yes!  We try to suit your needs as best we can, and we know sometimes your own schedule can change.

Will we have the same caregiver?

Yes! We will schedule the same caregiver. If your regular caregiver is out sick or on vacation, we will find another caregiver for that time.

Can family members receive updates?

Yes! You can have access to a family Portal that is easy to use and shows care notes, schedule, etc.

Hi Samantha,  Just wanted you to know, Renny and I were very pleased with all the cleaning Dolly did for us on Friday. She is such a pleasant person and easy to talk to. Friday 10 -12 is a perfect time frame. Thank you, Samantha, for following through on your vision to help seniors. For me personally, it is an answer to prayer. Sincerely, Marty

On a search for a companion last year, I found thru Derry’s Senior Center the names of organizations in the area dedicated to helping the elderly.  I was very pleased to engage with Bee Helpful and since November 2022 have established a relationship with my personal companion, Sheila.  Besides helping me at home we’ve become friends and I am very happy with the help I get from her.  She is very helpful, helps and accompanies me on daily activities.  -Angelica

Hi Samantha- I wanted to let you know my mother had the best day today. Her spirits were so good when we got home from work. She was so excited to have dinner ready and the table set for us. She was so talkative at dinner told us all about her day. She really felt good to contribute. Laurie is wonderful, my Mom really enjoys her company. Thank you and Laurie for all you do for seniors helping them be independent and taking a load off the caregiver (me).  Tuesday is the new laundry day 👏👏 Thank you so much for taking us on as a client we really appreciate the help.
