Why Private Duty Care

Private duty care (also referred to as domiciliary care, social care, or in-home care) is a wide range of health care services that can be given in your home for an illness or injury. It is usually less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as the care you would get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).

Caregivers

The largest segment of home care consists of licensed and unlicensed non-medical personnel who assist the individual including caregivers and care assistants who may help the individual with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, cleaning the home and preparing meals.

Caregivers work to support the needs of the clients and their families with the goal of staying home versus a facility. Often non-medical home care is paid for by the individual or family.

Private Duty Health Services

Often, the term home health care is used to distinguish it from non-medical care, custodial care, or private-duty care which is care that is provided by persons who are not nurses, doctors, or other licensed medical personnel.
