Is Home Care Only for People with Medical Needs?
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.
When many people hear the phrase home care, they immediately picture medical services: nurses, wound care, or post-surgery recovery. And yes, medical support at home is an important part of what we do at atHome. But that’s only part of the story.

What Non-Medical Home Support Can Include
Our team offers a wide range of non-medical services that make daily life easier and more enjoyable, especially for older adults who want to remain independent but could use a little support.
Here are just a few examples of what that might look like:
Light housekeeping and laundry
Meal preparation and grocery help
Transportation to errands or appointments
Help with dressing, grooming, or bathing
Medication reminders
Companionship and social visits
Regular wellness check-ins
These services are especially helpful for individuals who live alone, family caregivers who need respite, or anyone looking to reduce stress and stay on top of daily routines.
You Don’t Have to Wait for a Health Crisis to Get Help
One of the biggest misconceptions about home care is that it’s only for people with serious medical conditions or after a hospital stay. But more and more individuals and families are choosing to bring in support, before a major issue arises, to stay ahead of the curve and make life at home a little easier.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m fine, but it would be nice to have help with...” that’s exactly where atHome can come in. Whether you need a little assistance a few times a week or more regular support, we’ll build a plan that works for your lifestyle and goals.
