When it comes to home care, there are a lot of assumptions, and many of them simply aren’t true. These misconceptions can prevent people from getting the support they need or delay conversations that could make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

The truth is, home care isn’t just for people with medical needs. In fact, many of the clients we support don’t require nursing care at all. They simply want a little help to stay safe, comfortable, and independent in the place they call home. Whether you need hands-on medical care or just an extra set of hands with everyday tasks, home care can be tailored to you.
