The first step is to call/email, and we can begin learning about your needs, preferences and priorities. Then we can meet with you, at a location of your choice to, further assess and define client and family needs and preferences at no charge. Contact us at your own convenience, and we will arrange for an experienced, qualified, highly compatible caregiver immediately.
Yes. We will meet with you and your family in your home or at a hospital/skilled nursing facility to identify, assess, and discuss your needs and preferences. This is an important foundation to helps us identify the skills required and aspects that you would highly value in a caregiver. This information enables us to provide you with a caregiver that is highly compatible with you and your family.

Often our clients need caregiver services around the clock. Sometimes they need assistance at night or just feel safer knowing someone is there ready to help in an emergency. Live In care is just like it sounds. A caregiver is provided a private room and board by the client, and lives in the home with the client on the days they work. They sleep at night, and are available to help as needed. Generally, a Live-In caregiver should be able to get at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and works 8 hours intermittently throughout the day, taking breaks as they require. Fees for Live Ins are usually a flat fee per day (per diem), rather than by the hour. Ultimately, you and the caregiver determine the exact role and responsibilities.
Our goal is to establish long term, highly compatible care relationships between clients, their families and their caregivers. Consistency is key.
Absolutely. Our clients and their families will create a schedule that fits their needs.
No. HMOs, health insurance policies, and Medicare, do not provide any benefit for in home caregiving. They consider it custodial, not medical care. There are some Veteran Administration benefits that do cover some home care aide services, for example the VA Aide and Attendant Program.
Long Term Care policies provide coverage; however, each policy is different and may have requirements that need to be met before they will pay. We are happy to help with this process.
Yes. We can provide a caregiver with the prior approval of the workers’ compensation insurance.
