What is Home Care?

Private duty home care is a type of home care service that is provided to individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and other personal care needs in the comfort of their own home. Private duty home care can be provided by a home care agency or an independent caregiver and is usually paid for out of pocket by the individual, family and in some cases Long Term Care Insurance. 

Private duty home care services can vary widely depending on the needs of the individual. Some common services include assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting, as well as medication management, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation. Private duty home care can also provide companionship and emotional support to individuals who may be isolated or lonely.

Private duty home care differs from traditional home health care in that it is not typically covered by Medicare or other insurance programs. Private duty home care is often used by individuals who need additional support beyond what is provided by traditional home health care or who do not meet the criteria for Medicare-covered home health care services.

Overall, private duty home care can be a valuable option for individuals who want to maintain their independence and quality of life while receiving the assistance they need to remain safe and comfortable in their own home.
