Frequently Asked Questions
What services does in-home care include?
In-home care can include personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation, and respite care for family caregivers. The level of care is customized to your specific needs.
How is in-home care different from home health care?
In-home care (also called non-medical home care) provides assistance with daily activities and companionship. Home health care is medical care provided by licensed nurses or therapists, often prescribed by a doctor. Many seniors need both types at different times.
How do I know the caregiver is trustworthy?
Reputable home care agencies conduct thorough background checks, verify references, and provide trained and insured caregivers. SmarterSenior only matches you with vetted, licensed agencies so you can have confidence in your caregiver.
Is the matching service really free?
Yes, completely free. SmarterSenior connects you with in-home care providers at no cost to you. You have no obligation to move forward with any match.
