Is This Right For You?

Who Benefits from Hourly Home Care?

Overwhelmed, Doing Everything

You're juggling errands, cooking, and appointments with the skill of a pro, but your parent is only asking for one thing: you. With hourly home care, someone is available to handle everything on the to-do list while you can just sit, laugh, and be present with your loved one.

Noticing the Changes

You notice the skipped meals, the missed medication, the withdrawn behavior. Hourly home care to the rescue, providing them with constant support while you get to be the one they still need more than anyone else — the child who notices, comforts, and laughs with them again.

Post Surgery

Your independent parent has always been the type who does everything on her own, but now she is having trouble with her meals, errands, and daily routines. With hourly home care, you can be there for the hugs, the jokes, and the small moments that count.

When the Caregiver Needs Care

Your parents live on their own, and your mom has always been the support for your dad. But now your mom needs support as well, and your dad is left with no one to take care of him. This is where we step in to take care of both your parents, allowing you to be your parents' child, not their caregiver.

Why You Need a Plan of Care for Your Loved One?

A Plan of Care tells you exactly what level of support your loved one needs without committing to anything. We put it together because every family making this decision deserves clarity before they commit.

Fill out one plan of care. Walk away with caregiver profiles, the right questions to ask homecare providers and caregivers, and a roadmap because every family deserves clarity before they commit to anything.

Getting Started Is Simple

A Clear, Guided Process from Initial Call to Caregiver Match

  1. Reach out by phone or by filling out our online form, and THREE things come back to you. A FREE foundational Plan of Care tailored to you and your loved one, along with potential caregiver(s) profile(s) near you, and a list of questions to ask home care agencies.

  2. Our goal is to create the most effective Plan of Care for your loved one. One of our Client Managers will reach out to schedule an in-home visit. This allows us to get to know you and your loved one personally, understand their needs, and assess the home for safety. We'll note any existing adaptive equipment and flag any adjustments that could better support their independence at home.

  3. Based on everything we have learned about your loved one, we will send you a couple of pre-selected caregiver profiles that we believe are a good match for your loved one's needs, preferences, hobbies, personality, etc. Once you have chosen a caregiver you feel good about, you have the option to meet them before services begin.

  4. On the first day of services, our Field Supervisor will be on-site to ensure the Plan of Care is fully understood and followed. Clients are encouraged to ask questions, and we will be there to ease the transition every step of the way. From there, our Field Supervisor will continue with monthly in-home visits to ensure quality care is maintained.

Common Questions

Questions Families Ask About Hourly Home Care

How many hours per day can I book?

We require a minimum of 3 hours per visit to ensure quality, meaningful engagement. There is no maximum daily limit — you can schedule as many hours as your loved one needs, including multiple visits per day.

Can I adjust my schedule if needs change?

Absolutely. Our care plans are designed to be flexible from the start. You can increase or decrease hours, change visit times, or add extra days with proper notice to your client manager. We understand that needs evolve over time.

Do you provide care on weekends and holidays?

Yes — we provide hourly care 365 days a year, including weekends, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all major holidays. Care needs don't take days off, and neither do we.

What if my loved one doesn't connect with the caregiver?

We take caregiver matching seriously, but we also know that personalities sometimes don't click. If that happens, just let your client manager know and we'll find a better match — no questions asked and no additional cost to you.

What's the average hourly in-home care rate?

The cost depends on what kind of support your loved one truly needs. More importantly, we make sure you're only paying for care that actually helps.

What is the difference between hourly care and live-in care?

Hourly care means a caregiver visits for a set number of hours per day or week, then leaves. Live-in care means a caregiver resides in the home and is available throughout the day and night. Hourly care is ideal for seniors who are largely independent and need targeted support, while live-in care suits those who need continuous presence and assistance.

Does hourly care include personal care such as bathing and dressing?

Yes. Depending on your loved one's needs, hourly caregivers can assist with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. These are always performed with respect for your loved one's dignity and privacy. Please discuss specific needs during your free care assessment so we can match you with the right caregiver.
