What is home care?
Home care includes a range of non-medical services provided in a client’s home to support daily living and promote independence, including companionship, personal care, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
How is home care different from home health care?
Home care offers non-clinical assistance like bathing, dressing, and meal prep. Home health care involves medical services delivered by licensed professionals such as nurses or therapists.
Who typically uses home care services?
Seniors, individuals with disabilities, those recovering from surgery or illness, and people with chronic conditions often benefit from home care.
What services does home care provide?
Services include personal care, companionship, light housekeeping, transportation, meal preparation, medication reminders, and respite care for family caregivers.
Is home care covered by insurance or Medicare?
Home care is generally not covered by Medicare if it’s strictly non-medical. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid (in some cases), Veterans benefits, and private pay are common funding sources.
How do I know if my loved one needs home care?
Signs include difficulty managing personal hygiene, forgetfulness, increased falls, loneliness, or trouble maintaining a home or routine.
How do you select and train your caregivers?

How quickly can services start?
Services can often begin within 24 to 72 hours, depending on assessment needs, availability, and urgency.
Can caregivers help with dementia or Alzheimer’s care?

Is home care available 24/7?
