Nonmedical In-Home Care Sevices
About Nonmedical In-Home Care Services
85% of all extended care is provided in the home and community (outside of long-term care facilities) by family, friends or volunteers but there is a growing trend to hire paid individuals or professionals to provide the much needed in home care because most family caregivers are gainfully employed outside of the home.
The hiring of providers to provide in home care is also prompted by the complex needs of long-distance family caregivers or those who are caring from afar.
The providers listed on this platform provide services that allow people needing help with long term care to remain in their home or in the community instead of going to a care facility.
