3 Things You Didn't Know About In-Home Care

When it comes to health care, it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed by your options (or seemingly lack thereof). Many people know they need additional support in their day-to-day life but don’t want to lose the independence of living at home.

That’s where in-home health care comes in. While you may have heard of this option before, there are some common misconceptions about what is available. Here are three things you may not know about in-home care:

Did you know?: In-home care isn’t just for seniors

While many people associate home care with the elderly, the truth is that people of all ages can benefit from home health care. Our home transition care program is perfect for individuals who are readjusting to their home environment while recovering from surgery while our hourly services or 24-hour care could benefit someone who is living with a disability and needs some help with daily tasks.

We work with our patients to determine the level of care that best suits their situation, and offer short-term and long-term care plans to fulfill any need.

Did you know?: Receiving care at home is just as effective as in a skilled nursing facility

Our caregivers are skilled RNs (registered nurses) or LNPs (licensed nurse practitioners). Everyone on our staff undergoes rigorous training and is audited on an ongoing basis to ensure we are providing the best care possible for your loved one. This means that with Comforting Home Care, you’re receiving the same great care that you can expect from a skilled nursing facility, but with all the comforts and independence that come with in-home care.

Did you know?: Home health care is affordable

With an in-home care provider, you are able to customize the level of support you receive rather than getting a one-size-fits-all solution that may not be what you want or need. Our talented and experienced providers will help you determine what works best suits your medical and budgetary needs, and we can always make adjustments down the line if needed.

For patients on Medicaid in Pennsylvania, additional financial assistance may be available for those who qualify. Our PA Medicaid Waiver page contains more details about how to apply.
