Decent Home Care provides non-medical home care: practical, personal help with the parts of daily life that have become harder to manage alone.
Our caregivers assist with daily activities and household support. We do not provide medical treatment, and services are not a substitute for care directed by a licensed health professional.
Service detail
Every care plan is assembled from the services below. Most clients use two or three; some use one for a few hours a week.
Hands-on support with personal tasks, offered at the pace and level of privacy each client prefers.
Regular company and conversation for clients who spend most of the day alone.
Keeping the home comfortable, orderly, and easy to move through.
Food a client actually wants to eat, prepared in their own kitchen.
The trips that are hardest to keep up with, handled with or without the client along.
Relief for family caregivers, and a steady presence for clients who should not be alone for long stretches.
Who benefits
Personalizing care
We start with a conversation about routines: when the day begins, what is difficult, what the client would rather do independently, and who else is involved.
From there we outline the tasks, days, and hours of support, then review the plan with the client and family. Plans can be revisited as needs change or as program authorizations are updated.
Questions
No. Decent Home Care provides non-medical support with daily activities and household tasks. If a client needs care that must be delivered by a licensed clinician, we will say so and encourage the family to speak with the client's health providers.
Schedules vary. Some clients use a few hours a week; others use support several days a week. If services are funded through a program, the approved hours are set through that program's authorization process. We will explain what applies to your situation during the consultation.
Yes. Needs change, and plans are meant to be revisited. Contact the office and we will review the schedule and tasks with you. Changes tied to a funding program may require additional authorization.
