Focus
There’s no place like home.
Our founder, Fran Sontag, was driven to help people who were often overlooked and who could not advocate for themselves. She began by providing in-home education for several young adults with disabilities. Through serving them, it was apparent that they could benefit from additional in-home services. Fran’s drive and dedication continue through her son-in-law, Mitch Waks, and through all of our employees today.
The Unique Approach of St Louis Metro Area Home Care
How St. Louis Home Care Makes Life Easier for Everyone
Any Funding, Any Amount of Care, Any Skill Level
We make it possible for people to maintain their independence and rehabilitate at home. That means:
Any funding
We explore and provide any possible funding source, from government (Medicare, Medicaid and VA) to insurance (health, long-term care and worker’s compensation) to reduced-fee programs and self-pay.
Any amount of care
We have no minimum or maximum hours. We offer visits, hourly care and 12- and 24-hour shifts.
Any skill level.
We provide nursing, therapies, social workers and caregiver services.
Dementia Speciality Program
Cooperative has Certified Dementia Practitioners who are accredited through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP). Our trainers provide dementia education for caring for people with dementia during our two-day orientation training, as well at our annual caregiver in-services. We also offer Crisis Prevention Intervention (“CPI”) training for caregivers which helps them proactively and safely care for individuals who may be confused and/or agitated.
Free Assessment And Care Plan
Our free assessment is a great resource even when you are not quite ready to begin services. You can still discuss the specifics of your loved one’s needs, learn about how to pay for home care and what it may cost you, and begin considering your loved one’s options. At the end of the assessment, your completed Communication Book is ready, including your customized care plan.
Our Proven Process
Cooperative uses our unique ability to accept every type of funding to provide the most comprehensive and affordable home care solutions. We begin by qualifying you for every type of home care funding. We help you access all of your existing benefits through MO Medicaid, Medicare, long-term care insurance, and VA funding. Only then, if needed, do you pay out-of-pocket.
