Home care in Coplay, PA

Home care for Coplay families who want a parent to stay safe and connected in the river borough they have always called home.

Home care near you in Coplay

Coplay is a compact borough along the Lehigh River, known for the tall cement kilns at Saylor Park and the Ironton Rail Trail that loops past them. For a parent who loves a walk there but now needs steadier help, home care near you in Coplay can make the difference. A caregiver can help with the morning routine, fix lunch and keep the house tidy.

Caregivers in Coplay come to know the people they care for, because we send the same person visit after visit. If your dad and his caregiver are not a good fit, we make a change quickly. Our care team checks in often and updates the care plan as needs change, starting from a free in-home assessment.

When a parent comes home from the hospital

Many Coplay families go through Lehigh Valley Hospital's Cedar Crest campus, and some loved ones need a short rehab stay before heading home. A caregiver can be there on discharge day, help with bathing and meals, and keep the medication reminders going. For memory loss we also offer dementia care with a patient, familiar caregiver.

We answer the phone day and night, 365 days a year, with a real person who can help. Our caregivers stay with us because we support them, treat them like family and pay time and a half on holidays.

From breakfast to the library in Coplay

Many Coplay homes are older houses on narrow streets, often with the bedrooms upstairs. A caregiver can help your loved one start the day well, with a shower, clean clothes and breakfast, and make sure the stairs are taken slowly and with a hand to hold.

Because the borough is compact, some errands can still be done close to home. On a mild day, your mom and her caregiver can walk to the Coplay Public Library on South Fifth Street, and when the weather turns, the caregiver drives her to the grocery store instead. After a hospital stay, these short trips are a gentle way to rebuild her stamina.

Senior care in Coplay also guards against lonely afternoons. Caregivers sit and talk, play a hand of cards and help with video calls to grandchildren who live farther away. Our Lehigh Valley office keeps the family up to date between visits, so you know when she had a good week and when she could use a call from you.

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.
