Many seniors or people with disabling conditions can remain in their own homes with a little help. Our private duty program specializes in one-on-one care in the home for people needing a few hours of help or extended hours of care. Our private duty services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We can help with bathing and dressing, monitor medications, or stay around the clock if that’s what is needed.

Getting Started
A nurse case manager assesses the individual’s needs to determine the appropriate level, amount and frequency of care required. The nurse works with the client, family and physician to develop a personalized plan of care. A pre-admission family conference is sometimes recommended to clarify services that will be needed.  Although occasionally covered by insurance, clients and family members most often pay for this service.
