Personal care
For help with bathing, grooming, dressing, or eating, ask which activities the agency covers and how it sets up the first visit.
Compare services
Compare home care services for seniors
Start with the part of the day that needs help. Find the service that fits before you ask agencies for quotes.
Compare three kinds of supportChoose the service around the need
Household and community help
If the main gaps are meals, groceries, laundry, or transportation, ask about meal delivery or rides as well as agency help. Find out which tasks can be arranged separately.
Respite for a regular caregiver
If someone already provides most of the care, ask about short shifts at home, adult day services, or other planned breaks. Confirm hours, cost, and any eligibility requirements.
Bring the same questions to each provider
Ask each provider about the same tasks and time window. Compare how much of the week they can cover and what the total weekly cost includes. Ask your clinician about a separate referral if nursing or therapy is part of the plan.
