Frequently Asked Questions
What can non-medical in-home care do for you?
Most people don’t realize how helpful non-medical, in-home services can be until they have the need for this type of help in their lives. These home care services can support the independence and enhance quality of life for yourself, or a family member.
How will you know when it is time to get in-home care?
Are basic Activity of Daily Living (ADL) becoming unsafe or too difficult to handle alone? Help with ADL could allow an individual to remain in their own home safely and for a longer period of time.
What services does Private Home Care offer?
Our home care services have different levels, from light housekeeping, cooking, laundry, medication reminders and transportation to more in-depth care, including 24 hour and hospice. Our staff is hospice certified.
How can in-home care help our family?
Having trained professionals attend to increasing needs often benefits the entire family. Family members are spared from becoming full-time care-takers, and the individual with the need is also spared the feeling of losing dignity, or becoming a burden, and they tend to stay more independent. Professional input often lessens the stress on a family and preserves relationships.
