Rather talk now? We're happy to.
Many couples have looked after each other for years. Often one of them is doing more than they should to care for the other, and both could use some help. Care at home lets them stay side by side, in their own home and their own routines.
How it helps
One visit for you both
Your caregiver helps each of you with what you need that day. That might be a shower and getting dressed for one of you, and a good lunch and company for the other.
A rest for the one doing the caring
A husband or wife who has been the caregiver gets to be a spouse again, while someone else takes on the heavy part of the day.
Care that fits each of you
At the free in-home assessment we sit down with you both, listen to what each of you needs, and build the care plan around that.
Questions families ask about care for couples
Can one caregiver help both of my parents?
Yes. At the free in-home assessment we look at what each of them needs and tell you honestly what one caregiver can do in a visit.
What if they need different kinds of help?
That is very common. One may only want company and a hand with meals while the other needs help bathing and getting around. The care plan covers each of them.
What does care for two cost?
Often no more than care for one. When one of you needs personal care, the other still enjoys the cooking, cleaning and errands done for the household, at the regular hourly rate. If you both need personal care, such as help bathing and dressing, the rate is one and a half times the regular rate, not double. See our rates.
