In-home care means professional support provided where your loved one already lives—their home, your home, or anywhere they feel comfortable. It's an alternative to moving someone into a facility.
Care can range from a few hours of companionship each week to round-the-clock skilled nursing. Most families start with less and adjust as needs change.
The goal is simple: help someone stay safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible in familiar surroundings.
Different situations call for different levels of support. Here's what's typically available.
Social support and light assistance for those who are generally independent but shouldn't be alone for long periods.
Typical tasks: Conversation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, medication reminders, transportation to appointments.
Typical cost: $20–$30/hour
Best for: Early-stage cognitive changes, social isolation, family respite

In-home care isn't just for the elderly. It supports people in many different situations.
Seniors who want to remain in their homes but need help with daily tasks, safety supervision, or medication management.
Anyone recovering from surgery who needs temporary assistance during healing—often covered by insurance for a limited time.
People managing conditions like Parkinson's, MS, diabetes, or heart disease who need ongoing monitoring and support.
Individuals with cognitive decline who need supervision, routine support, and a safe environment.
Adults with physical or developmental disabilities who need assistance to live independently.
Families providing care themselves who need respite—a few hours or days of relief from caregiving duties.
Most families don't start looking until something happens. Here are common signs it might be time.
Falls, leaving the stove on, getting lost in familiar places, or difficulty managing medications.
Unwashed clothes, poor hygiene, weight loss, or an unkempt home in someone who was previously tidy.
Withdrawal from activities, depression, anxiety, or confusion that's getting worse.
Family members feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or neglecting their own health and responsibilities.
Hospital stay, new diagnosis, or doctor's recommendation for additional support at home.
Needing constant supervision due to wandering, poor judgment, or medical fragility.
