What is Hourly Care?
Visits of 4 or more hours, ranging from homemaker help to companionship to hands-on personal care, scheduled around your family's routine. It's often the starting point on the care continuum, and can grow into Personal Care, Overnight, or 24-Hour Care as needs change.
Who it's for
✓ Families needing a few hours of help a few days a week
✓ Those wanting to try home care before committing to a larger plan
✓ People needing daytime support while a family caregiver works
✓ Anyone whose needs are still light, companionship, meals, errands

Common questions
Our standard visit is at least 4 hours, with at least 8 hours a week. Need a shorter visit? Please ask. When a caregiver is available for a shorter shift, we will work to make it happen, with an extra $5 an hour for visits under 4 hours. Shorter visits depend on staffing, so we cannot promise them every time. Don’t need 8 hours of care per week? Our Early Support Visits offer a helping hand around the house and good company, with regularly scheduled four-hour visits once a month or every other week, in Springfield.
