FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the difference between homemaker and home health care?
Homemaker services are non-medical: help with meals, cleaning, errands and companionship. Home health is skilled care, like nursing or therapy, ordered by a doctor. We're licensed for both and can help you figure out which fits.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
We'll work with your schedule. Call us and we'll tailor visits to your needs and budget.
Can we start quickly after a hospital discharge?
Yes. Call us before discharge and we'll coordinate with the hospital team.
