Many families don't need full-day care. They need a few hours a week, the right kind. Hourly home care covers the small things that have started to slip, and a steady hand for the things that always required two.
Four hours. The minimum reflects what it takes to do meaningful care without rushing: bathing, a meal, a walk, conversation, the small tasks that add up.
How often do families schedule?
Most start with one to three visits a week. Some stay there for years; others ramp up as needs grow. Month-to-month, no minimum commitment.
Can hourly grow into daily as needs change?
Yes. Many of our long-term clients started with a few hours a week. We adjust the schedule with you as the situation shifts; same caregivers wherever possible.
Do you do transportation as part of an hourly visit?
Yes: appointments, groceries, errands, walks outside, and getting to and from doctor's appointments. Travel within a reasonable distance is part of the hourly rate; longer trips we discuss in advance.
Does meal prep include cooking for the whole family?
Meal preparation is for the client, or for both partners in a couple's care arrangement. It doesn't extend to cooking for the rest of the household; that's outside what we're contracted to do.
