We offer a wide range of services and flexible schedules to accommodate your needs. Help can be arranged part- or full-time, on an intermittent or on-going basis. With Colonial Home Care, there is no long-term contract or commitment, so you can schedule assistance at a frequency that is well-suited for you and your family.
Intermittent Visit - Usually about an hour in length, a Home Care Aide typically assists with personal hygiene needs, such as bathing and dressing. As another option, we can simply stop in to check on you or your loved one's well-being.
Hourly Service - From as little as a few hours per day, to as many as 24, a Home Care Aide can be there any time help is needed - day or night. This service has the widest range of flexibility, in that you select the time frames and frequency of care that would be most beneficial for you and your loved one.
Live-In Service - A Home Care Aide can stay 24 hours per day for as long as needed to assist with all activities of daily living. Maintaining comfort and stability in the familiarity of one's own home, live-in assistance offers a great deal of peace-of-mind for clients and their families. While the Home Care Aide is not "on duty" during the night, there is a reassuring sense of security just knowing "someone is there to help," should anything arise. Live-In assistance can be arranged temporarily or on an ongoing basis.
While most often we assist clients in their own homes, we can also provide one-on-one assistance to clients who are in a health care facility such as a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, or a Senior Living Community. Payment for services is usually private pay, but we also accept long-term care insurance.
