frequently asked questions

What is private in-home care?2026-01-22T22:28:18+00:00

Private in-home care provides non-medical assistance to individuals who wish to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes. Services focus on daily living support, companionship, and compassionate personal care rather than skilled medical treatment.

Is there a minimum number of hours required?2026-01-22T22:21:08+00:00

Yes, there is a four (4) hour minimum scheduled visit.  This allows caregivers to provide meaningful, uninterrupted care. “This could be once a month or every day. All situations are different and needs constantly change.

How much do in-home care services cost?2026-01-22T22:23:55+00:00

Between $25 and $35 an hour. Costs vary based on:

  • Level of care required

  • Schedule and hours of service

  • Location and special needs

An individualized care plan and pricing estimate are provided after a consultation.

What services do you provide?2026-01-22T22:29:21+00:00

  • Personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting)

  • Companionship and supervision

  • Safety monitoring and fall prevention

  • Alzheimer’s and dementia support

Do you accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid?2026-01-22T22:29:38+00:00

Private in-home care is private-pay and not typically covered by Medicare or Medicaid. Some long-term care insurance policies may provide reimbursement to you. We recommend checking with your insurance provider.

How is private in-home care different from home health care?2026-01-22T22:33:41+00:00

Private in-home care is long-term, flexible, and client-directed, while home health care is medical, short-term, and physician-ordered. Home health is typically covered by Medicare or Medicaid, whereas private care is paid directly by the client or family. We directly communicate with home health and hospice workers to keep everyone up-to-date and informed.

Are your caregivers trained and screened?2026-01-22T22:42:47+00:00

Yes. All care professionals undergo:

  • Background checks

  • Employment eligibility verification

  • Skills and competency screening

  • Ongoing training and supervision

Our goal is to provide dependable, compassionate, and professional care.

Is a doctor’s order required?2026-01-22T22:39:56+00:00

No physician referral or medical order is required to begin private in-home care services.

Will the same caregiver come each visit?2026-01-22T22:40:18+00:00
