In-Home Private Duty for Seniors

Personalized senior home care provides scheduled, private-duty assistance in your loved one's home. The support provided depends on the senior's assessed needs, approved care plan, Maryland service location, requested schedule, caregiver availability, and the agency's authorized scope of service.

Depending on the approved care plan, caregivers may assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and other personal-care routines. The specific assistance provided depends on the senior's assessed needs, preferences, service arrangement, caregiver responsibilities, and the agency's authorized scope.

Caregivers may provide approved, non-clinical medication reminders that support an established routine. Medication administration is not promised unless it is legally authorized, within the agency's permitted scope, and specifically approved in the care plan and service arrangement.

Requested schedules may range from a few hours per week to several days per week or daily assistance. The final schedule depends on the approved care plan, requested hours, Maryland service location, caregiver availability, and completion of required service arrangements.

Depending on the approved care plan and agency policies, support may include grocery shopping, approved errands, and routine household needs. Requested tasks, transportation arrangements, preferences, and service boundaries should be discussed during the consultation.

Respite support may be arranged so that adult children, spouses, and relatives can rest or manage other responsibilities. Availability depends on the requested schedule, service location, caregiver availability, and the approved care arrangement.

No. The consultation allows Mercy Health Services to understand your loved one's needs and determine whether the requested assistance can be appropriately provided. Service location, scheduling requirements, caregiver availability, care-planning needs, payment arrangements, and overall service fit must be reviewed first.
