What Are the Benefits of Self-Managed Care?

Self-managed care is an alternative to the traditional care facility route and provides a few valuable benefits.

  • Your loved ones can age in place longer. More importantly, they can do so safely with the in-home care support services Care At Home Service can provide.
  • You have a greater say over who provides the care and when.
    • For example, when you choose Care At Home Services, we screen and hire the care team so you don’t have to. We also offer 24/7 hour support, so the care schedule is flexible to fit your needs.
  • Should a caregiver be sick or go on vacation, a private company can offer an alternate caregiver for the duration of the gap.
    • Care At Home Services has an extensive team of caregivers and nurses available 24/7 to support.

Who is Eligible and How Can You Get Started With the Self-Managed?
