What services are included in In-Home Care?

In-home care offers personalized support delivered right in your loved one’s home. It can range from basic daily assistance to skilled medical care, depending on what is needed.
‍
Typical non-medical services include:

Help with bathing, dressing, and hygiene

Meal preparation and light housekeeping

Transportation, errands, and appointment escorts

Medication reminders and mobility support

Companionship and fall prevention

Home care agencies can also offer skilled services such as:

Nursing care (wound care, vitals, injections)

Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy

Chronic condition monitoring

Hospice coordination and palliative care support

In-home care can include both non-medical support and skilled medical services, such as nursing or therapy, unlike hospice care, which focuses on end-of-life care. If you’re unsure what type of care your loved one needs, we can help guide you to the right solution, including home health or hospice if appropriate.

When it’s the right fit

In-home care is a great option when:

Your loved one wants to stay at home but needs assistance

You’re a caregiver who needs part-time respite

You’re waiting for an opening in assisted living or rehab

Your loved one is recovering after a fall, surgery, or illness

You want to age in place, with dignity, comfort, and support

We’ll help you decide if in-home care is the right solution or if a more structured setting would offer more peace of mind.

The costs

In-home care pricing depends on hours, care level, and provider. Non-medical hourly care typically ranges from $35–$45/hour, while live-in support may cost $300–$450 per day. Skilled home health and hospice care are often covered by Medicare or Medicaid with a physician’s order.

We also help families explore eligibility for Medicaid waiver programs, VA Aid & Attendance benefits, and long-term care insurance, guiding you through every step.

FAQs

01

What’s the difference between home care and home health?

Home care assists with daily living activities, including bathing, cooking, cleaning, and companionship. It’s usually private pay.

Home health is medical: nursing, wound care, or therapy ordered by a doctor, and is often covered by Medicare. We help you figure out which (or both) is right for your situation.

02

Who qualifies for home care, and do you need a diagnosis?

Anyone who needs assistance with daily tasks, such as dressing, cooking, or mobility, can utilize home care services. You don’t need a formal diagnosis or a doctor’s order unless you're using long-term care insurance or Medicaid programs that require documentation.

03

What services can a home care aide provide?

Home care aides can help with:
‍
- Bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Medication reminders (not administration)
- Meal preparation
- Transportation and errands
- Companionship and supervision

Some agencies also offer nurse-supervised aides for more complex needs.

04

Can you get 24/7 or live-in home care, and how much does it cost?

Yes. Families can choose hourly, overnight, or full-time live-in care. Rates vary:
‍
- Hourly: $30–$40/hour
- Live-in: $350–$450/day

We help you understand your options and what’s most cost-effective based on your situation.

05

What’s the difference between hiring privately and using an agency?

Hiring privately may seem cheaper, but it comes with legal and safety risks (no insurance, no background checks, no workers’ comp). Agencies are licensed, compliant, and handle taxes, training, and replacements, offering peace of mind and protection.

06

Does insurance, Medicaid, or VA Aid & Attendance pay for home care?

Sometimes. Options include:
‍
- Long-term care insurance (if your policy covers it)
- Medicaid waiver programs in NJ and PA
- VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans and spouses We’ll help you navigate every program and file the right paperwork.

07

Can home care help avoid or delay moving into assisted living?

Yes. Many families use home care to extend independence at home. But when care needs increase or costs exceed assisted living, we’ll help you evaluate the next step, without pressure.

08

How do I find a trusted home care agency near me?

We match families with vetted, local home care providers who have availability now. We know who’s reliable, who’s affordable, and who treats families with dignity, so you don’t waste time chasing dead leads.

Not sure what type of care you need?

Home care. Home health. Hospice. It’s a lot to sort through. We’re here to help you make sense of it all.
