Home care in Alburtis, PA
Friendly, dependable help at home for older adults in Alburtis, from caregivers who get to know your loved one and the pace of borough life.
A caregiver who knows Alburtis
Alburtis is a small, quiet borough, and a slow walk through Lock Ridge Park along Swabia Creek is a favorite for many longtime residents. When your mom or dad needs help to keep that routine, our caregivers step in with bathing, dressing, meals and light housekeeping. We match each one to your loved one's habits and personality, so a familiar face keeps coming back.
Senior care in Alburtis should come with an office that is easy to reach. A real person answers our phone day and night, every day of the year, and our care team checks in and adjusts the plan as needs change. We look after our caregivers too, treating them like family and paying time and a half on holidays, which is a big part of why they stay.
Back home after a hospital stay
Many Alburtis families get word from Lehigh Valley Hospital's Cedar Crest campus that a parent is ready to go home, sometimes after a short rehab stay at Complete Care at Lehigh in nearby Macungie. On that first day back, a caregiver can meet you at the door, read through the discharge papers with you and start the medication reminders. In home care in Alburtis can start with a few visits a week and grow to live-in care.
Getting through the week at home in Alburtis
Plenty of houses in Alburtis are older two-story homes near the center of the borough, and the staircase is often the first thing we plan around. A caregiver can lay out clothes on the first floor in the morning, steady your loved one on the climb up to bed and keep the kitchen stocked with food your dad will actually eat.
Most errands from a borough this size start with getting in the car. Our caregivers do that driving, to the pharmacy or a follow-up visit, and they stay through the appointment rather than waiting in the lot. Once your dad is home from a hospital stay, a stroll to the corner can grow, week by week, into a full lap of the park.
Elderly care in Alburtis has a social side as well. A caregiver can prop the tablet on the kitchen table so your mom sees the grandkids' faces when they call, or simply sit down with her over coffee and talk. Our Lehigh Valley office keeps family updated too, so a son who lives out of state hears how she is really doing.
Frequently asked questions about home care
Click or tap a question to see the answer.
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.
