How do we begin services with Providence HomeCare?

We begin with a complimentary in-home consultation. During the visit we discuss your loved one’s needs, preferences, and home environment. We then create a personalized Care Plan and recommend a caregiver who is well suited for the individual.

Can the schedule be changed after services begin?

Yes. Schedules can be increased, reduced, or adjusted as needs evolve. Many families start with part-time companion care and then transition to more frequent support if needed.

How are caregivers evaluated?

Caregivers in our registry are carefully screened, interviewed, and guided by our team. We also perform periodic check-ins and request feedback from families to ensure high quality care.

Do you provide care for individuals with dementia?

Yes. Our dementia home care services are designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive decline. We offer structured routines, safety monitoring, and meaningful activities.

What scheduling and payment options are available?

We offer hourly care, overnight care, live-in care, and 24-hour care. We also assist families in understanding payment options and next steps during the initial consultation.
