Questions about home care services
Still have a question? Call us. Someone is here to talk, any time of day.
(609) 208-1111 What home care services does Always Responsive Home Care offer?
Live-in, 24-hour, hourly and overnight care, along with personal care, companion care, homemaker services, Alzheimer's and dementia care, Parkinson's and stroke recovery care, hospital-to-home care, palliative care and respite care.

What is the difference between home care and home health care?
Home health care is skilled care, such as part-time nursing and therapy, that a doctor orders for someone who is homebound, and Medicare often pays for it. Home care is ongoing non-medical help with daily life: bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, getting around and company. Families arrange and pay for home care themselves, and it's what Always Responsive Home Care provides.
How do I know which kind of care my parent needs?
Call us and tell us what has become hard. We'll set up a free assessment at home, go over the daily routine and the medications, and write a care plan with you. The plan sets the schedule and the kind of help, and it changes when your parent's needs do.
Can the care change as needs change?
Yes. Care can start with a few hours a week and grow to overnight or around-the-clock care, or scale back after a recovery. There is no long-term contract, so you can change the schedule or stop care without a penalty.
How soon can care start?
Often within a day or two of your call, and sometimes the same day, for example when someone is coming home from the hospital. The more notice we have, the more choice we have in matching a caregiver.
