My Homecare & Services

Purpose of This Service

My Homecare & Services offers an on-site Shared Support Service caregiver for assisted living residents who are generally independent but may benefit from added supervision, reassurance, and occasional hands-on assistance throughout the day.

In assisted living, independent living, and supportive residential communities, residents may benefit from short caregiver visits throughout the day. This service helps fill care gaps by providing an on-site My Homecare & Services caregiver during scheduled hours to support, enrolled residents, with brief non-medical assistance as needed.

Daily Participation Fees

This is a shared-access service, not hourly care.

Daily participation fees are based on the number of residents enrolled and reflect shared access to an on-site caregiver.

With fewer enrolled residents, each resident receives a higher proportion of caregiver availability, which results in a higher daily fee. As the number of enrolled residents increases, the daily fee per resident decreases because caregiver time is shared among more participants. As enrollment increases, individual caregiver availability per resident may be more limited.

This service provides shared access to a caregiver and does not guarantee a specific amount of individual service time.

Fee Schedule

A $50 non-refundable registration fee is required and will be applied to the daily service fee. Fees will apply regardless of daily usage. Two (2) weeks’ notice is required to discontinue participation. Please Contact Us for more information on fees
