Who are Club 24 clients?
Club 24 clients are seniors who wish to stay in their own homes, condominiums or independent living apartments. The senior may be arranging services for himself or herself, although Club 24 often assists adult children or other family members in the same community or over a distance to arrange care for their loved one. Club 24 also works with guardians, attorneys and trust officers.

How does scheduling a service work?
It’s very easy. For a first-time client, a free in-home assessment is completed, then our Scheduler matches the client to an appropriate caregiver depending on the needs of the client.
|
What if I require only one of the services offered by Club 24?
That’s what we’re here for – to serve your specific needs. Club 24 is client-focused in its orientation as we work to tailor services to meet clients’ individualized needs. Services can be added or dropped at any time depending on your changing needs.
|
What makes Club 24 different from other home care organizations?
Club 24 is different from other home care services in the following ways:
- We are locally based and committed to providing our clients with quality, individualized care and services.
- We are a not-for-profit organization with a mission to care for the whole person.
- We bill on a convenient once a month schedule for services you have used.
- We are affiliated with Lutheran Services in America, through which we hold values of generosity, inclusion, justice and mutual care.
|
How do you select your caregivers?
Club 24 employees are selected based on their experience and education. Once we are interested in an employee, a criminal background check and driving record check is completed. Upon hiring, all employees are trained, bonded, insured and closely supervised. Club 24 employees receive continued education with monthly in-service training. In addition, to ensure quality care, we perform in-home assessments of our workers in the performance of their duties.
|
Can I interview the caregiver before service begins?
Certainly. Although most of our clients are comfortable with our Scheduler matching a caregiver to their needs, we are happy to arrange for a brief meeting with the caregiver prior to commencing service if there are specific concerns.
|
Who pays the caregiver?
Caregivers are employees of Club 24 Senior Living at Home. As a licensed State of Washington Home Care agency, the wages, health insurance and mileage reimbursement are paid through Club 24. You are billed once a month for services rendered. No money is ever exchanged with the caregiver.
|
What if I am dissatisfied with the service?
Let the office know immediately that you are dissatisfied. We will talk with you and schedule a new caregiver for you.
|
How much do your services cost?
Club 24 is committed to keeping services affordable. Call our offices at 206-547-2424 for a current fee schedule.
|
What about services that Club 24 doesn’t provide?
Club 24 has a pool of providers to whom we can refer our clients for services that Club 24 does not provide. These providers include geriatric physicians, guardianships, financial planners, trust officers and skilled nursing facilities.
|
Will my health insurance cover Club 24 services?
As a licensed home care agency, many long term care policies pay most of the costs for your care at home. Club 24 will assist you in providing information and a plan of care to your insurance company to determine coverage and provide for ongoing reimbursement if eligible.
