Hourly Service

Our Staffing Specialists are always available to talk with you about your home care needs whether you need service for one-hour on a regular/non-regular schedule, or require 24-hours a day round-the-clock care.  For cost of hourly service, click on "Rates" or scroll to the bottom of this page.

What is hourly service and is there a minimum requirement?  We have no hourly minimum requirement.  You can use our service according to your needs:

*  Service from as little as 1-hour to 24-hours, around-the-clock
*  Service on an on-going basis
*  Service for one time only
*  Service on an occasional basis as you need it

Is it easy to change the amount of service you are receiving?  Life is an ever changing picture.  As your requirements change, we are just a phone call away.  You can change your schedule according to your needs.  If your current caregiver is not able to accommodate the schedule change for any reason, just give us a call and we will match you wit a compatible caregiver with the available schedule you need.

What is the difference between 24-hours of hourly service and live-in service?  If around-the-clock service is needed and a caregiver is required to be awake at all times, it would be considered hourly service and you should expect to need 2-3 caregivers per day.  If you want a caregiver to be in the home for the full 24-hour day but do not need them to be awake and working at all times, a live-in caregiver could be a cost effective solution for you.  See our "Live-In Service" page for more information.

What type of services can the caregivers provide?  Professional caregivers have a wide range of skills, talents and comprehensive caregiving experience, which we match to your unique needs.  They are not nurses and do not perform medical services however, a significant number of our clients are receiving medical care from a licensed home health agency and use our agency to provide caregivers for their non-medical needs, saving themselves substantial amounts of money.
