For over a decade, Giving Home Health Care has been committed to supporting current and former U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) workers facing health challenges from exposure to hazardous substances. We offer more than just compassionate in-home care; we are dedicated to navigating complex federal compensation programs like the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act (EEOICPA) and the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). Our mission is simple; to serve, provide support, and advocate for individuals impacted by their work in nuclear energy programs. We envision a world where all individuals impacted by nuclear program-related conditions have access to compensation, benefits, and medical care that allows them to remain in their homes and surrounded by loved ones.
Guiding You Through EEOICPA and RECA with Care
Navigating the endless acronyms and paperwork of federal compensation programs can feel overwhelming. That’s why we are here – to guide DOE workers and their families every step of the way. The EEOICPA, established in 2001, compensates workers who develop illnesses from radiation exposure or other toxins during their service with the DOE. Similarly, RECA – if extended by Congress – offers support for uranium workers impacted by their roles in the nation’s nuclear programs. We assist eligible patients in obtaining a “White Card,” which functions similarly to a standard insurance card, though patients will not have the burden of copays or deductibles. This card provides medical benefits related to the patient’s covered condition, including comprehensive in-home care, home medical equipment, and certain prescriptions related to covered conditions.
Compassionate Advocacy for EVERY Patient
At Giving Home, our commitment extends beyond care – we’re strong advocates for our patients. Our dedicated team adapts support as medical needs evolve, alleviating the stress of navigating these challenging processes. With over 400 full-time staff and a network of more than 4,500 skilled caregivers, we deliver personalized, compassionate, and patient-centered care tailored to meet each individual’s needs. Our caregivers often become family, offering consistent check-ins and in coordination with their Authorized Representative and physician, will adjust care plans to ensure the highest standard of care. This personalized approach enables patients to manage long-term medical conditions with dignity and comfort.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey with EEOICPA or RECA or need ongoing support, Giving Home Health Care is here to ensure every patient receives the compassionate care and advocacy they deserve.
