Home care in Laurys Station, PA
Home care in Laurys Station for parents who want to stay in their own home by the Lehigh River, with steady caregivers and a team that always answers.
Life in the river bend
Laurys Station tucks into a bend of the Lehigh River in North Whitehall Township, with Route 145 carrying most trips in and out of the village. For an older person, that can make the simple errands feel far away. Elderly care in Laurys Station starts with the basics: help with bathing and dressing, a home cooked meal, light housekeeping and a ride wherever your loved one needs to go.
We pick a caregiver who suits your parent and keep that caregiver coming back, so the visits feel easy instead of strange. Every caregiver we send has been carefully screened and trained. We treat them like family, and they repay it with patient, attentive care. Whenever you call our Lehigh Valley office, a real person answers.
Recovering at home after the hospital
Families from Laurys Station often come home from Lehigh Valley Hospital, either the Cedar Crest campus or the Muhlenberg campus in Bethlehem. A caregiver can be there on day one to go over the discharge instructions with you and keep up medication reminders. Later, rides to outpatient therapy at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation on Wynnewood Drive keep the recovery moving. Home care in Laurys Station can include overnight care when nights are the worry.
Riverside routines for a parent in Laurys Station
Homes in Laurys Station range from older houses in the village to single-family homes on larger lots in the township around it. A caregiver adapts to the house your loved one has, helping with a careful walk down the front steps, keeping the laundry going and leaving a good lunch in the fridge for later.
A caregiver also takes on the driving, so the week keeps its regular stops, like the hairdresser and the Sunday service. She stays for doctor visits and lets the family know how they went. After a hospital stay, those regular trips are a big part of feeling settled at home again.
Long afternoons go faster with good company, and caregivers in Laurys Station make time for it. Your dad might spend an hour going through a shoebox of pictures with his caregiver, or catching up with the grandkids over video. Between visits, our Lehigh Valley office keeps every family member on the same page about how he is 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.
