Frequently Asked Questions

Home care is a broad term used to describe several forms of care provided in-home. Generally, it covers personal care (bathing, dressing, toileting, feeding, transferring, grooming), homemaking services (light housekeeping and chores) and companionship services, which may include personal shopping, transportation, and socialization. In-home senior care is paid privately, whereas home health care is prescribed by a physician and covered by Medicare or supplemental insurance providers.

Choose an agency that will provide all the services you need for you or loved one. If you need help identifying these, speak with a doctor, care manager or hospital discharge planner if the person just left the hospital. These people can refer you to reputable agencies.
