The Alliance publishes three annual directories of its members:
Massachusetts Home Care Resource Directory
The 2011 Home Health Resource Directories combines thoroughness with ease-of-use to give you the best guide to home care services in Massachusetts. If you’re a nurse, social worker, GCM, or anyone else who needs to find the best home care agency to fit your patient’s needs, this is the one resource you need.
The Resource Directory lists our 189 agencies alphabetically — 15 more than last year — complete with full contact information and a description of the services they offer. It also contains a detailed town-by-town cross reference that lets you find local agencies can provide service to your patient. Sample pages are available here.
New to the 2011 Edition, the Resource Directory explicitly lists which agencies are Medicare Certified and which have received the Alliance’s Agency Accreditation.
You may order copies on our website or by using the form below, or can download an order form to fax back to our office.
Guide to Private Home Care Services
If you’re looking for home care services without having to worry about Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement, the 2011 Guide to Private Home Care Services is exactly what you need.
The Guide contains short essays about what home care is, how to pay for it, and how to choose a home care agency, as well as alphabetical and county-by-county listings of 120+ agencies across Massachusetts. The 2011 Edition is also the first to show which agencies have earned our Agency Accreditation status and which also accept Medicare/Medicaid.
The Guide is available free of charge and there are no shipping charges for orders of up to 12 copies. Order online by filling out the e-form below (don’t forget to log-in if you have a profile) or download an order form to send back to our office.
You may also download a copy of the Guide directly to your computer (720 KB).
Guide to Pediatric Home Care Services
There is an “art” and a “science” to deliver care in the home and The Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts represents 165 agency members who do this on a daily basis. Of these, only a few have specialty programs to deliver pediatric home care. The agencies listed in this directory self-reported the services they provide.
Our pediatric guide is available free of charge and there are no shipping charges for orders of up to two copies. Order online by filling out the e-form below (don’t forget to log-in if you have a profile). Alternately, you may download either printer-friendly or screen-friendly versions directly to your computer.
