Carefully Evaluate Your Care Options

The journey of finding a care provider for your loved one can be overwhelming.

For people who don’t necessarily need in-home healthcare services, but rather, need assistance with things like household chores or personal care, a home care provider (also called a personal care aide or a home care aide) may be the solution. This is a role that does not require any formal certification. Home care providers may be employed directly by a senior or their family, though many are employed by agencies and may be supervised by a licensed nurse or social worker.
