Home Care
Professional care in the comfort of home.
Home care provides a supportive solution for seniors who need help with daily activities but prefer to remain in their own homes.
Home care allows seniors to receive the assistance they need while staying in the familiar environment of their own home. Whether it's a few hours a week or around-the-clock support, home care services can be tailored to fit each individual's unique needs and schedule.
What is Home Care?
Home care encompasses a range of non-medical support services delivered in a senior's own home. Caregivers assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and companionship. Home care is distinct from home health care, which involves skilled medical services provided by licensed nurses or therapists.

What is the difference between home care and home health care?
Home care provides non-medical assistance with daily activities and companionship. Home health care involves skilled medical services — such as wound care, physical therapy, or IV medication — provided by licensed healthcare professionals and often ordered by a physician.
How many hours of home care does my loved one need?
The number of hours varies based on individual needs. Some seniors need just a few hours of assistance per week, while others require 24/7 live-in care. Marci can help assess the appropriate level of care.
Does insurance cover home care?
Long-term care insurance often covers home care services. Marci specializes in helping families understand and maximize their long-term care insurance benefits. Medicare may cover some skilled home health services but generally does not cover non-medical home care.
How do I know the caregiver is trustworthy?
Reputable home care agencies conduct thorough background checks, reference checks, and training for all caregivers. Marci only works with agencies that meet her high standards for caregiver quality and reliability.
