What home care in the Lehigh Valley includes

Lehigh Valley families often call our Bethlehem office when a loved one is coming home from the hospital or a rehab stay, or when everyday routines have started to slip. Home care with us helps your loved one stay at home, comfortable and safe, with someone they trust by their side.

Our caregivers help with bathing, dressing and grooming, make meals and keep the kitchen stocked, give medication reminders, keep the house in order and walk with your loved one so they stay steady on their feet. They notice small changes, like a loss of appetite, and share them with our Client Care Manager. And they bring company and conversation that lift the whole day.

This is non-medical home care, so you won't need a doctor's order. Choose a few hours a week, overnight or 24-hour care, or a live-in caregiver. Our guide to home health care vs home care explains how the two differ. To get started, book a free in-home assessment.

What's the difference between home care and home health care?

Home care, also called non medical home care, helps your loved one with everyday activities so they can stay safe and comfortable at home. A trained caregiver or home health aide assists with personal care like bathing, dressing, and toileting, along with daily tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship.

Home health care is skilled medical care provided by a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It covers clinical tasks that require a nurse's oversight, such as IV therapy, wound care, and medication administration. Home health care is usually ordered by a doctor for a set period of time, often after a hospital stay.

Many families use both, with home care filling in the daily support between skilled nursing visits.

How quickly can care start?

In urgent situations, we can often start care the same day. For most families, care begins within one to two days. That gives us time to complete your free in home assessment, create a custom care plan for your loved one, and carefully match them with the right caregiver. We move quickly without cutting corners, because your loved one's safety and comfort always come first.

What happens during the free in home assessment?

During the free in home assessment, we take the time to get to know your loved one and your family, including their daily routines, preferences, and what matters most to them. We also complete a home safety assessment and share any recommendations to help prevent falls and make the home safer, at no charge. From there, we create a custom care plan and help you decide on the home care options and schedule that best fit your loved one's needs.

Will my loved one have the same caregiver each time?

We always do our best to keep the same caregiver with your loved one, and we note your preferences so every visit feels familiar and comfortable. Thanks to our low caregiver turnover and excellent training, most of our clients see the same friendly faces week after week. Of course, caregivers need time off and get sick sometimes too. When that happens, we let you know right away and send a wonderful, fully trained replacement who is already familiar with your loved one's care plan. That's the benefit of working with an agency. You're never left without help.

How much does home care cost?

The cost of in home care depends on several things, including where your loved one lives, how many hours of care they need, how often visits are scheduled, and the type of care required. Because every family's situation is different, the best way to get an accurate price is through our free in home assessment. There's no obligation, and we'll create a care plan that fits your loved one's needs. You'll always have a clear, written estimate before care begins, with no surprises.

How do I reach someone after hours or on weekends?

We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Just call our main office number and ask to speak with someone. A real person from our team will help you right away, whether it's a schedule change, a question, or an unexpected situation. We're always here for you.
