In-Home Care Services

How does CareLinx work?

CareLinx is an online platform that helps connect families with professional, non-medical caregivers in their area.  CareLinx provides “technology with a human touch” -- families can access an online portal to view caregivers, message with them, hire them, and create individualized tasks for them to assist in the home.  If you do not feel comfortable using technology, CareLinx provides a dedicated toll-free number to connect with a CareLinx Care Advisor who can assist by phone.  Your CareLinx Care Advisor will also be coordinating your benefit selection including your choice of one of the following services: In-Home Personal Care, Housecleaning or Pest Control. Your CareLinx care advisor will assist with scheduling and obtaining services.

What types of home care services do caregivers normally provide?

Caregivers can assist with a range of activities of daily living and non-medical support -- mobility, bathing, grooming, exercise, transportation, meal preparation, companionship and more.  Caregivers can also provide limited assistance with your medications by providing reminders and/or taking you to pick up medications.   However, caregivers are not authorized to administer or dispense medication.

Are caregivers licensed and how are they screened?

CareLinx caregivers come from a wide range of professionals including retired registered nurses. Some caregivers will be certified nursing assistants or home health aides, but it is not required to be a caregiver. CareLinx does extensive background screening and offers continuing education for its caregivers to ensure the best quality of care. Our Care Advisors will work with you to match them with a caregiver who has the experience that meets their individual needs.

How soon after I enroll will caregiving services start?

You can enroll after you have completed your required healthcare activities for a year after your activities have been completed; however, you should enroll as soon as possible to take advantage of your benefits.  If you have questions about the status of your healthcare activities, please contact your UnitedHealthcare diabetic support advocate at 844-326-3045.  

When you call CareLinx and express that you would like in-home care services, the CareLinx caregiver placement process typically takes around 5 days for metro areas, and around 10 days for rural areas. This also depends on when you prefer care to start.

Can I message and schedule interviews with caregivers without CareLinx’s assistance?

A dedicated CareLinx Care Advisor will assist with scheduling all caregiver interviews unless you would like to coordinate alone. If you do not want to interview and would rather have a caregiver matched with them on their behalf, your Care Advisor can assist by selecting a caregiver in your area who best fits your care needs.

Are there accommodations for clients who do not speak English?

Yes, CareLinx can directly accommodate any Spanish-speaking clients currently. Care Advisors also have access to a translation service via phone with representatives who can translate for most languages.

How does CareLinx help me enroll if I select housecleaning as my benefit?

CareLinx Care Advisors will ask some questions to better understand your needs and schedule to place a housecleaner or housecleaning company to come provide the one-time, deep cleaning for your home.
