Home care in Glendon, PA
Home care for older adults in Glendon, the small borough on the Lehigh Canal next to Easton, with caregivers who help your loved one stay at home.
A tiny borough by the canal
Glendon is the kind of place you can pass through without noticing, a small borough tucked beside Easton with the Lehigh Canal along its edge. The people who live here like the quiet. Our caregivers help older adults keep it, with help washing up and getting dressed, meals that suit them and a tidy, safe house.
We choose a caregiver for your loved one with care and keep that same person coming back, so trust builds quickly. Caregivers in Glendon help with errands and rides to appointments, along with the kind of easy conversation that makes an afternoon go by.
After St. Luke's Easton Campus
St. Luke's Easton Campus is the hospital many Glendon families know, and some loved ones spend a few weeks at The Gardens at Easton before coming home. When that day comes, a caregiver can be there to help them settle in, go over the discharge papers with you and keep up with medication reminders.
Senior care in Glendon begins with a free in-home assessment and a care plan written for your loved one. A real person at our Lehigh Valley office answers whenever you call, and our caregivers, whom we treat like family, earn time and a half on holidays.
Company and errands for a parent in Glendon
Homes in Glendon are mostly modest older houses on a handful of streets, many with a staircase up to the bedrooms. A caregiver can help your loved one through the morning, from a warm shower to breakfast, and stay close on the stairs when it is time to rest.
Because the borough is so small, nearly every errand crosses into Easton or the townships nearby. A caregiver drives to the grocery store and to appointments, and stays with your mom from start to finish. While your mom gets her strength back after a hospital stay, having the same person behind the wheel makes each trip less tiring.
In home care in Glendon fills the quiet afternoons with company. A caregiver can work a crossword with your dad or help him call the grandchildren on video. Updates from our Lehigh Valley office matter most when the rest of you live out of town and can't stop by after work.
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.
