What It Is

Home care refers to non-medical support services provided in an individual’s home. The goal is to help older adults maintain their independence and stay in a familiar environment for as long as possible. Caregivers assist with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Home care also provides companionship and supervision, which can be just as important for emotional well-being as physical support. This type of care is typically flexible and can be scheduled for just a few hours a week or up to full-time, depending on the needs of the individual.

 

This option is the most versatile as it can be used in conjunction with most other care options.
