Frequently Asked Questions

What types of services does your home care agency offer?

We offer a variety of personalized services, including personal care, Alzheimer’s and dementia support, hospice assistance, chronic illness care, household help, transportation, companionship, and nurse-directed care.

Do you have minimum hours required for home care services?

Yes, typically we require a minimum number of hours per visit or per week to ensure consistency and quality of care. We will discuss your specific needs during our initial assessment.

Are your caregivers trained and background checked?

Absolutely. All our care pros undergo rigorous training, comprehensive background checks, drug testing, motor vehicle checks, and ongoing professional education to ensure your loved one receives safe, compassionate care.

Will the same caregiver visit each time?

We strive to provide consistent caregiver assignments to build strong, trusting relationships. While schedules can occasionally vary, our goal is to keep changes minimal and inform you in advance

Can you help with medications and medical care?

Our caregivers can provide medication reminders and assistance with medication administration as guided by our nurse-directed care plans. However, they cannot prescribe or dispense medications directly.

How soon can you begin providing services?

We aim to begin care promptly. Often, we can initiate services within 24 to 48 hours following the initial assessment, depending on caregiver availability, client location and client-specific requirements.

Do you accept insurance or Medicare/Medicaid?

We will help you review options and can accept various long-term care insurance plans, as well as private pay. Currently, Medicare does not typically cover non-medical home care, but some Medicaid programs may provide coverage depending on eligibility.
