Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does in-home care include?
In-home care consists of supportive, non-medical services that allow individuals to remain safely at home while aging or recovering. These services range from personal care (bathing, toileting, dressing) to homemaking duties, meal prep, errands, and transportation.
2. What is your caregiver hiring process?
All caregivers are employees—not contractors—and must complete a multi-step onboarding process. This includes full background checks, reference reviews, interviews, and training. Each caregiver is bonded and insured for added peace of mind.
3. Is a doctor required to approve care?
No. Non-medical services such as personal care, homemaking, and companionship do not need a doctor’s authorization.
4. How do you choose the best caregiver for each client?
We gather detailed information through an intake assessment covering care needs, preferences, daily routines, schedule, and home setting. Matching is based on personality, gender preference, certifications, medical experience, language, availability, and lifestyle compatibility.
5. What in-home care services are available?
We support clients with personal care, dementia care, companion care, homemaker services, and live-in care to meet a variety of needs.
6. Can you explain live-in care?
Live-in care is when a caregiver resides in the home to provide 24-hour supervision, companionship, and hands-on support for safety and comfort.
7. What does aging in place mean?
Aging in place means remaining in one’s home while growing older, rather than moving to a care facility. It offers familiarity, emotional comfort, reduced stress from relocation, and may cost less than institutional care.
8. What are ADLs and IADLs?
ADLs are fundamental daily tasks such as bathing, eating, mobility, and grooming. IADLs involve supportive tasks like cooking, shopping, cleaning, and managing finances—activities needed to maintain independent living.
9. Can caregivers help with medication needs?
Caregivers provide medication reminders but cannot administer medications or handle dosing responsibilities.
10. How soon can services start?
Most new clients can receive care the same day they request it, depending on local caregiver availability. Our team is available 24/7 to assist with scheduling.
