How do you choose between home care agencies?
Home care agencies and in-home care companies can sound alike. A few questions help you compare them:
- Is the agency licensed in Delaware? Reliable Aid is a Delaware Personal Assistance Services Agency, license PASA-052.
- Will you reach a real person? When you call us, you reach our Dover office.
- Does it work with your Medicaid plan? We work with all three Delaware Medicaid plans, listed below.

How to start home care
- Call us. Tell us who needs help, where they live, and what's been hardest. The first call is free, and there's no obligation.
- Free consultation. We talk it through by phone or visit the home, and plan visits around your loved one's routine.
- Care begins. We match a caregiver who fits your loved one's schedule and personality.
A family business you can call
Letting someone into your parent's home is a big decision. We treat your family the way we'd want ours treated: we show up when we say we will, we respect your loved one's choices, and when you call, you reach a real person at our Dover office.
Every caregiver we send is background-checked. We're insured and bonded. If your caregiver is sick or can't make a visit, we send a backup, so your mom isn't left waiting.
Using Delaware Medicaid?
We work with Delaware Medicaid's long-term care program, Diamond State Health Plan Plus, and all three of its health plans: Highmark Health Options, AmeriHealth Caritas Delaware, and Delaware First Health. Already with another agency? You can switch to us. We also work with private-pay families. How Medicaid home care works
Support for family caregivers
Caring for a parent or spouse at home is a lot for one person. Respite care gives you a few hours or a full day off while a caregiver stays with your loved one.
Get paid to care for family
