Frequently Asked Questions
We know choosing care for a loved one comes with a lot of questions. Here are answers to the ones families ask us most.
About Our Services
Non-medical home care provides companionship, personal assistance, and household support to seniors who want to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes. Our caregivers do not provide medical treatment or nursing care — instead, they offer meaningful companionship, help with daily tasks, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and more.
We offer a wide range of companion care services including companionship and social engagement, light housekeeping, grocery shopping and errands, medication reminders, meal planning and preparation, transportation assistance, bedside companionship in hospitals and rehab centers, and overnight and holiday care.
No. Our caregivers are companion care providers, not licensed medical professionals. We do not administer medications, provide wound care, or perform any medical procedures. If your loved one requires skilled nursing or medical care, we recommend consulting with a licensed home health agency.
Yes. We offer bedside companionship for clients who are recovering in a hospital or rehabilitation center. Our caregivers provide a familiar, caring presence during what can be a stressful time, offering conversation, comfort, and support while your loved one heals.
Scheduling & Availability
We offer two flexible scheduling options: Hourly care (weekday and weekend availability, with a minimum of 12 hours per week) and Overnight & Holiday care for clients who need additional support and reassurance during nighttime hours or on holidays.
In many cases, we can begin care within a few days of your initial consultation. We work to match your loved one with the right caregiver as quickly as possible while ensuring the fit is right for your family.
We understand that needs can change. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to adjust or cancel a scheduled visit, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Cost & Coverage
Our rates are competitive and designed to be an affordable alternative to assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Costs vary depending on the level of care and scheduling needs. We encourage you to contact us for a personalized quote — we're happy to discuss options that fit your budget.
Non-medical companion care is generally not covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare. However, some long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care services. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. We are happy to provide documentation to support any claims.
