Everyday help in Schnecksville
Schnecksville sits on a ridge in North Whitehall Township, where Route 309 meets the start of Route 873, with the Lehigh Valley Zoo and the Lehigh Carbon Community College campus close by. Plenty of grandparents here still love a morning at the zoo with the grandkids. A caregiver can make outings like that possible again, and keep the house running with meals, laundry and medication reminders.
Our caregivers in Schnecksville are chosen for your loved one's personality and needs, and the same caregiver comes back every visit. Good caregivers stay with us because we look after them like family, with time and a half on holidays. Any time you call, a real person at our Lehigh Valley office picks up.
Back on your feet after the hospital
After a stay at Lehigh Valley Hospital's Cedar Crest campus, many parents keep up therapy at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation in Schnecksville. A caregiver can drive to those appointments, help with exercises at home and make bathing safer while strength returns. In home care in Schnecksville can begin with a free in-home assessment and a few hours a week, then grow into personal care every day if needed.
A steady hand at home in Schnecksville
Even a home with everything on one floor has its tricky spots, like the edge of the tub or the step into the garage. A caregiver can help with bathing, keep the things your mom uses most within easy reach and walk beside her when she feels unsteady. Light housekeeping keeps the floors clear, which matters as much as any grab bar.
Home care in Schnecksville also covers getting out. A caregiver can drive your dad to his checkups, push the cart while he shops for groceries and stop for lunch at a place he likes. Once he has finished his therapy, small things like cooking his favorite breakfast again help the week feel normal.
Good company makes a long day shorter. Your caregiver can talk over the news with your loved one, play a hand of rummy or get relatives far away on a video call. You will hear about each week from our Lehigh Valley office, the good days and the harder ones.
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.
