Who it helps

Personal care is a good fit for a parent who's unsteady on their feet, recovering from an illness, living with a chronic condition, or simply finding the daily routine harder than it used to be. It's also a relief for family members who've been doing all of it themselves.

How it works

We start with a free consultation by phone or at the home. You tell us what the mornings and evenings look like and what's been hardest. We match a caregiver to that schedule and to your loved one's personality.

Every caregiver is background-checked. We're insured and bonded, and we send a backup if your caregiver can't make a visit.

Paying for personal care

Delaware Medicaid long-term care can cover personal care at home for people who qualify. We work with all three Delaware Medicaid health plans. See how Medicaid home care works.

Questions families ask

How many hours can we get?

That depends on what your loved one needs and how care is paid for. If Medicaid covers it, the health plan approves the hours. Call us and we'll talk through your options.

Can we keep the same caregiver?

We work to keep the same caregiver with your family, because familiarity matters. When they can't make it, we send a backup.

Do you help with medications?

Yes, with reminders. Giving medication is handled by a nurse or the person themselves.
