Frequently Asked Home Care Questions

The following are some of the most frequently asked questions by families in search of senior care for their aging parent, grandparent or loved one. If you do not see your question listed below, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at (214) 363-3400, where a Care Manager will be more than happy to assist you.

Getting Started

What is home care?

In-home care provides seniors with one-on-one assistance in the comfort of their own home, enabling them to live independently. Services include help with daily activities such as meal preparation, bathing, transportation, laundry, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and companionship.

What is included in the no-obligation consultation?

The consultation includes a complimentary in-home assessment with a care manager. They will review your loved one’s needs, discuss care goals, and propose a personalized care plan-without any pressure or commitment.

How quickly can I start receiving care services?

Most consultations are scheduled within 1-2 business days, and care can typically begin shortly thereafter. We strive to respond promptly and accommodate your timeline. Book your consultation today.

My parents are reluctant to accept home care. Now what?

It’s not uncommon for older adults to resist the idea of care at first. This can be a sensitive transition, and approaching it with patience and understanding can make a big difference. You might consider:

• Suggesting a short trial period for home care to ease them in.
• Referring to the caregiver as a “personal assistant” or “housekeeper” to help them feel more comfortable.

Setting up a relaxed conversation with our care manager to learn about their goals, routines, and preferences – without any pressure.

Specialized Care Methods

What special care methods do you use, and how are they applied?

Alongside our personalized in-home care plans, we incorporate two proprietary, research-based approaches that set us apart:

• Balanced Care Method™ – A holistic approach inspired by the lifestyle of the world’s healthiest aging population. It emphasizes nutrition, physical activity, mental engagement, and social connection to support overall well-being and independence.
• Cognitive Therapeutics Method™ – A structured program of activities designed to promote brain health, support memory, and encourage cognitive function, particularly beneficial for individuals with dementia or other memory concerns.

Our caregivers are trained to integrate these methods into daily routines, helping clients not only with essential tasks but also with opportunities for physical, mental, and emotional enrichment.

Payment & Insurance

Who pays for home care?

Our services are private-pay and not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. However, we can assist with long-term care insurance paperwork and provide referrals to VA or Medicaid programs as needed.

Do you work with veterans or insurance?

While we are private-pay, we’re happy to assist with long-term care insurance paperwork and provide referrals to VA or Medicaid programs.

Can a family member be paid to provide care through your company?

No. We do not employ family members of clients. All caregivers are vetted and hired through our agency to ensure the highest quality of care and professional accountability.

Caregiver Qualifications

Are your caregivers trained and qualified?

Yes. All caregivers are thoroughly screened and background-checked. They also receive ongoing training to uphold our high standards of professionalism, compassion, and safety.

Why should I use a company rather than hire a caregiver on my own?

Using our agency ensures caregivers are properly screened, trained, and supervised. We handle all employment responsibilities, provide backup caregivers when needed, and develop care plans overseen by experienced professionals.
