Home care in Forks Township, PA

Home care in Forks Township, from the river roads along Route 611 to the neighborhoods off Sullivan Trail, with caregivers who treat your loved one like family.

Help close to home in Forks

Forks Township runs from the Delaware River and Route 611 back to the shops along Sullivan Trail, with plenty of single-family neighborhoods in between. Many older adults here have lived in the same house a long time and want to stay. Our caregivers help them do it, with personal care, meals, housekeeping and companionship.

A caregiver can also keep your loved one moving. That might be a ride to physical therapy at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation on Sullivan Trail or a short walk to the gazebo at the township's community park. We match each caregiver with care and keep the same person coming back, so your parent always knows who is at the door.

After a stay at St. Luke's

Many Forks families come home from St. Luke's Easton Campus, and some from St. Luke's Warren Campus just across the river in Phillipsburg. A caregiver can be home on discharge day, go over the instructions with you and keep medication reminders on track. Home care in Forks Township can be a few hours a week or full live-in care.

Our Lehigh Valley office keeps a real person on the phone day and night. We support our caregivers, pay them time and a half on holidays and treat them like family, and it shows in their work. In home care in Forks Township always starts with a free in-home assessment.

Lunch with friends and help at home in Forks

Most homes in Forks Township are single-family houses on quiet streets, and some parents have downsized into an active adult community in the township. A caregiver adjusts to each one, keeping a close eye on the stairs in a two-story house, or spending more of the visit on laundry, meals and company in a smaller home.

A caregiver can also bring your loved one to the Park Plaza Senior Community Center for lunch and an activity, then stay or come back for the ride home. Following a hospital stay, returning to a favorite place often does as much for a parent's spirits as anything else in the recovery.

Senior care in Forks Township also keeps the family connected. Caregivers can help your loved one take the grandkids' video calls, and our Lehigh Valley office reports back to the family after visits, so the son who moved away gets the same news as the daughter down the road. With live-in care, someone is there through every evening too.

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.
