Questions Families
Often Ask

How quickly can care begin?

In most cases, care can begin within 24–48 hours of your free home assessment. For urgent situations (hospital discharge, emergency respite), we'll do everything possible to start same-day.

Do you accept insurance, LTC, or Medicaid?

Yes — we work with most long-term care insurance policies, Delaware Medicaid waiver programs, and VA benefits. We can also help you navigate the paperwork. Private pay is always available.

Can I meet the caregiver before care starts?

Absolutely. We personally introduce the caregiver during the home assessment and ensure both the client and family feel comfortable before care begins.

What if the caregiver isn't the right fit?

Your satisfaction is our priority. If a caregiver isn't right for any reason, we'll promptly re-match at no extra cost. We'd rather adjust than have anyone uncomfortable.
