In-home care can feel opaque from the outside. There's a vocabulary, an intake process, a schedule, a billing model. None of it is complicated — but no one ever explains it in plain English. Here's how it really works.
Step one: the consultation
A free conversation — usually 30 to 60 minutes — to understand what's going on. No paperwork required. You describe what's hard and what would help. We listen. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
Step two: the in-home assessment
A visit to your loved one's home to see the layout, meet them in their environment, and design care that actually fits. This is where the plan gets real.
Step three: the care plan and caregiver match
A written plan covering goals, schedule, communication standards, and emergency protocols. Then a thoughtfully matched caregiver — for personality, not just availability.
Step four: care begins, and adjusts
First shifts are about getting to know each other. We check in with the family early and often. Plans evolve as needs evolve — care that fit in month one rarely fits unchanged in month six.
What it costs
Most in-home care is billed hourly, with discounts for longer shifts or overnight care. We'll walk through pricing honestly during your consultation — no hidden fees, no surprise charges.
