Most older adults Can remain at home! Many people need help with some of their normal daily tasks. A Caregiver can assist with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, laundry, medication reminders, and light housekeeping, making staying at home with one-on-one care a great alternative to facility placement. Often the cost is comparable, and in some cases, less than facility care!
In-Home Quality Care will help those who want to safely age in place and remain at home.
Older adults experience difficulties with their activities of daily living. They may need assistance with bathing; dressing; bathroom needs; incontinence management; light housekeeping; laundry; companionship; shopping; escorts to appointments and the like.

Traditional Medicare does not cover caregiver services. However, some Medicare supplemental plans now cover a limited number of service hours.
We are very careful in our screening process. We require our Caregivers to have experience in taking care of the elderly. They must do an interview, submit references that are confirmed, have and maintain current TB testing, and a doctor’s release saying that they are healthy to perform caregiver work and pass a state-wide, Act 34 Criminal Check.
It is important to note that our caregivers are insured and bonded employees, not contractors.
