Next steps to sign up for the Home Care (Non-medical)

To start home care services like help with bathing, meals, or companionship, you can reach out directly to home care agencies. No doctor’s referral is required. Most home care is paid privately, by long-term care insurance, or through Medicaid waiver programs. It’s important to compare providers based on caregiver training, reliability, and responsiveness; our site helps you compare local options, message providers, and start the prequalification process. The typical next step is a free home assessment to create a personalized care plan.
