Our non-medical home care services: Discover your options
Discover more about our non-medical home care services below to learn how we can support your loved ones with their daily needs and activities.
- Hourly care is provided to your loved one on a schedule that reoccurs weekly based on the days and hours your loved one needs help.
- Live-in care consists of a care professional staying with your loved one and providing 13 hours of care per day. You are responsible for providing the care professional with a comfortable place to sleep, access to a bathroom for their personal needs, and reasonable meals. They do not go home and take up to three meal periods during the day and eight hours of rest per night.
- Respite care is best when your loved one does not regularly need 20 hours of care per week or needs care for less than a month. Our respite care service may be right for them.
- Light care is for a spouse or second older person living in your loved one’s home who also requires care. Light care includes meal preparation, light housekeeping, and laundry for that second person. If more attention is needed for the second person, we will work with you to ensure the proper care is in place as a separate service.
How soon can we start?
Once you have met with our care navigator for a home safety evaluation and assessment to determine your care needs, we will develop a comprehensive care plan and train and orient your care professionals to start providing care immediately. This process typically takes 36 to 48 hours and is the best way to ensure a smooth start.
What does a comprehensive assessment include?
When you decide to go with our services, before starting care, our case coordinator conducts an in-depth assessment, reviews the cultural assessment, performs a home safety assessment, and develops your loved one’s personalized non-medical home care program.
